The organization also helps its participants as they work to mend and repair their family relationships by providing them with parenting advice and a variety of other interpersonal lessons.
Lovebugs Rescue
Elizabeth Nimni is also a proud supporter and volunteer of Lovebugs Rescue. Lovebugs aims to provide animals with a second chance at life by helping them find their forever homes.
