One-year-old Gato was rescued after being found abandoned in a cat carrier on a construction site. Emaciated and in poor condition, he was quickly taken to the ASPCA^® Animal Recovery Center (ARC) to receive immediate care. It was discovered that Gato has cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological disorder that meant he would need a very special adopter to love him for who he is and give him a little extra support. Luckily that adopter was by his side caring for him at ARC the whole time and he was later adopted by Juanita, an ASPCA Integrated Care Assistant. With help from Subaru and the annual Subaru Share the Love Event, the ASPCA can continue to operate lifesaving facilities like ARC to help reach more animals like Gato.

11-year-old Quinn has cystic fibrosis. She thought she was going to look at cars with her family, but was surprised by family, friends, and community members, plus Make-A-Wish^® and Subaru partners, with a party to celebrate the granting of her wish to go to Hawaii. Subaru of Cherry Hill, in partnership with Make-A-Wish New Jersey, hosted the send-off party for Quinn filled with her favorite things, like a Kona Ice truck and fire dancer, plus exciting gifts for her trip. Approximately 27,000 children are diagnosed with a critical illness each year, and research shows that a wish can lead to better health outcomes and a higher chance of survival. Through the annual Subaru Share the Love Event, more than 600 Subaru retailers across the country partner with Make-A-Wish to help support children and families impacted by critical illnesses, transforming lives one wish at a time for children like Quinn.

At 88 years old and speaking little English, Tomoko spent most days isolated at home. Meals on Wheels^® volunteers struggled to communicate with her because of the language barrier. That all changed when Andrew began volunteering. Fluent in Japanese, he could talk with Tomoko, but that was just the start. The two also attended Japanese heritage events together. With support from donors like Subaru through the Subaru Share the Love^® Event, Andrew provided something Tomoko so desperately needed: friendship.

Preserving and protecting nature is critically important. The National Park Foundation and Subaru are helping expand waste reduction and recycling efforts across the national parks, making these treasured places more sustainable for generations to come.
