Name: jme Thomas
What is your job? Full time volunteer executive director of
Motley Zoo Animal Rescue
What social causes are most important to you? Animal
welfare, primarily finding homes for pets in need.
What charity do you support – and how? Motley Zoo
primarily, but I also started “Cancer is a Jerk” in honor of my best friend who
is losing her battle to aggressive and advanced breast cancer. I have always
been a person dedicated to service. I used to design clothing (came VERY close
to being on Project Runway three times!) and my goal with the clothing line was
to donate the proceeds to charity. Eventually I decided that instead of trying
to get from A to Z by selling the clothes, I could instead just do the work
myself instead, directly to the causes I cared about. So I have now funded 2
charities, though Motley Zoo is my full time priority.
