Maddie’s Fund Presents: Growing up in India, Geraldine developed a deep understanding of equality and the human / animal bond. From an early age, she’d care for stray dogs in her neighborhood – feeding them and taking them to a local shelter.

Join us to hear about her journey across the globe and what inspired her to be courageous in the face of adversity.
