Hidden Gems: Meet Carol Linnee of Carol Linnee’s Critters

Today we’d like to introduce you to Carol Linnee. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Carol Linnee’s Critters is a nonprofit organization with the mission to enhance the welfare of children and animals. This organization was established in August 2022 by Carol Linnee, CEO & Founder.

As a child, Carol Linnee always had a strong passion for animals. From rescuing turtles with her father as a child to working at various animal hospitals while receiving her bachelor degree of Biology at Grand Valley State University, animals have remained close to her heart.

One thing that has always inspired Carol Linnee was the training and patience that go into therapy animals and how much of an impact it truly has on a child. She wanted to make a dream into a reality and touch the hearts of children with the accompany of animals.

Due to some circumstances in life, sometimes we go through trauma. Carol Linnee is a survivor of trauma herself, and she wanted to let children, especially ones who have been through traumatic experiences know that they are not alone, they are loved, they have value and worth, they are cared for and supported through their journey, and that they are strong.

This is where Carol Linnee came up with Carol Linnee’s Critters. These eight fun critters have their own unique story to tell, and one thing they all have in common is that their care and love for one another pulls them through their hard times. Carol Linnee’s Critters will be a supportive friend, family member to every child in need. Together, we will make a difference.

Many children that experience traumatic injuries often leave the hospital with no clothing to wear home. Some parents don’t have funds for new clothing for their children, so many times they leave the hospital in the same bloody torn clothing.

Carol Linnee’s Critters supply new clothing to children’s hospitals and urgent cares across Metro Detroit. Our volunteers will not only distribute clothing but will also visit the children along with our support animals to deliver each child with a stuffed animal toy to represent our care, love, and support.

Our mission is to bring awareness to all that love binds us together. No matter our differences, our love for one another will pull us through. We are stronger together and here to make a difference.

Our vision is friends become family; their unconditional love and loyalty bring them together in harmony, changing the world together.

Let’s make a difference together!

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I would have to say our journey has been amazing.  To go from a dream, to an idea, to a foundation was an incredible experience.  There were ups and downs, but we enjoyed every moment.  Giving back is a blessing and bringing smiles to children’s faces is everything.  This is just the beginning for us.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
