Maple Ridge Kids Raise Money for Wildlife

This summer, three amazing kids from Maple Ridge—Isla (13), Max (9), and Bash (4)—worked together to help the animals at Critter Care Wildlife Society. They rented a lemonade stand at their local farmers market and sold lemonade and handmade crafts to raise money.


This week, they stopped by to donate $150 and brought along some items from our wish list. They also shared some wonderful photos of their lemonade stand adventure.

We’re so grateful for Isla, Max, and Bash’s kindness and hard work. Their efforts will help us care for injured and orphaned wildlife and give these animals a second chance at life.


Thank you to these young heroes and to Jenny Skopliak for sharing their story with us. Your generosity means the world to us and to the animals we care for!
