Milkshake Pups is a self-made company.

After realizing conventional work would not be able to support me due to my disability, I decided to try and find a way I could use a passion to make an income. Milkshake Pups goal is to help me grow to be independent and support causes I believe in. I started Milkshake Pups originally so that I could use my art for Shark Conservation. All shark related products have 10% of Profits going towards Shark Stewards. 

 

"Shark Steward’s mission is to save endangered sharks and rays from overfishing and the shark fin trade, and protect critical marine habitat through the establishment of marine protected areas. With your help, we will achieve this mission! Our vision is a healthy ocean with fully protected populations of sharks and rays and 30% of healthy marine areas protected for future generations."

Milkshake Pups also supports the Liv Project. My first friend to take her life was Liv, and her amazing family have created a wonderful organization in her honor, all products unless specified have 10% profits going to to their amazing work. 

​

"The Liv Project was created in 2020 after the loss of 19 year old Liv to Suicide, to engage people in one of the greatest challenges of our time – turning the tide of youth suicide. We are a creative collective that develops tools and programs that spark fearless conversations around mental health and suicide prevention in productive, and maybe even fun ways. "

Lastly in 2021 on Suicide Awareness Day, we lost another close and dear friend to suicide. Vi was the most beautiful person I had ever met and she taught me a lot. I met her as Vi, her trans* identity, she taught me how to accept myself being Nonbinary without having to be androgynous. Vi was the smartest, high spirited person I'd ever known and any LGBTQ* products will have 10% of profits donated to The Trevor Project in her honor.

"The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people."
