Our Method For Change
NARRATIVES
Hear My Story. See My Heart.
Stories shape our vision of the world and often frame our perceptions and biases. For this reason, CARE is producing and sharing stories that celebrate the diversity within human and animal well-being.
CARE CENTERS

Sir Darius Brown has been the owner of Beaux & Paws, a nonprofit and bow tie store for dogs and cats since he was eight years old.
Brown said when he was two years old, he was diagnosed with a speech, comprehension and fine motor skills delay. When he was eight, his fine motor skills started to improve after he began helping his older sister with cutting fabric and learning how to use a sewing machine. It was during this time, he discovered his passion for making bow ties.
Brown has always had a love for animals, but he said he was truly moved by the devastations of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
He hasn’t stopped helping since!
