Since 1972, Helen Demes has been on an unwavering quest fueled by compassion. It all started at the age of nine when a black-and-white commercial aired by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), depicting the harrowing clubbing of harp seals. This profound moment ignited a lifelong dedication to animal welfare, shaping her path from a young age.
Hailing from Cocoa Beach, Florida, Helen's fervor for animals blossomed as she spent her weekends volunteering at a sanctuary in Melbourne until she completed high school.
From Military Service to Animal Advocacy
After high school, Helen joined the military but remained committed to supporting animal welfare organizations financially. Eventually, she earned a degree in aerospace engineering and trained as a veterinary technician to prepare for her dream of running an animal rescue.
Establishing Sunset Farm Sanctuary
In 2016, Helen left her corporate job in Washington, D.C., and started Sunset Farm Sanctuary in Oregon with the support of her partner, Brian. Due to a number of factors, Helen and Brian relocated 141 animals, including disabled ones, to a new location in Arkansas, a logistical challenge that Helen navigated with determination.
The Sanctuary’s most recent rescue was of 150 cats that came out of a hoarder situation. Full post www.HealthScience.org/podcast/086-Helen-Demes
