Dana Deutsch was a very special friend Nancy met during her battle with cancer. Dana was also battling and was an inspriation to Nancy. Sadly Dana lost her battle March 2018 and we want to make sure her spirit lives on with a retreat.
Dana was born in Minneapolis, MN and has left her legacy in many cities. Dana was passionate about everything she did. Dana was a firefighter for Village Fire Department in Houston, TX from 2001-2004. She was also a volunteer firefighter for the Houston Fire Department and competed in Masters powerlifting. Dana had a huge passion for animals. She was the founder of Ralphie's Place Animal Rescue, she was an Animal Control Officer at Chicago Animal Care and Control and she served as the Animal Warden in the City of North Chicago Animal Control from 2014 until she passed. Dana volunteered with countless organizations for the well being of animals and went on rescue missions for both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Harvey areas with a group called "Operations Bring Animals Home." She spent 5 months on the ground at Hurricane Katrina; disaster response was her passion. Never doubt that one person can make a huge impact on the world, Dana inspired every human she met and saved every animal she encountered.

Dana's Heart to Hands is a group of Dana Deutsch's friends and supporters who wish to continue her legacy by supporting animals in need. Our first service project is to build a retreat cottage at 2nd Hand Ranch that will be dedicated to Dana. The cottage will be a place for people to come stay and get away from the hustle and bustle to recharge with nature. We will have several fundraisers leading up to this event to raise the funds for material to build the cottage. We hope to have raised funds and have it "Lock Up Ready" (exterior complete) by September 22, 2018. It is a remote bluff over looking the rescue and all materials will be hand carried up to the location as not to disturb nature. This retreat will honor Dana for many many years and its a great honor to have it built here.
All donations for this amazing getaway are tax deductible and the retreat will open to all who want to have peace in their hearts and 'reset' |
