“It was lost paradise 2018 where I met my first dancewizers. I was in their care space when I was overheating in the 40 degree heat. I've never met such a big group of warm souls. So one year ago today, I decided to join them. And look how happy it made me! I have only been able to volunteer a little of my time due to my crazy schedule, but in it i found a second family. love you all. Thanks for all the love and sick times Wolfpack”
