Kitty Cave "True Blue"

Friendsheep was created by Valeria Isaacs, a zero waste entrepreneur, disability advocate, mother, wife, nature lover, and former biologist. Always passionate about ecology and sustainable living, her pursuit of those passions was interrupted when a spinal cord injury left her quadriplegic at age 22.  During her recovery, Valeria obtained a master’s degree in molecular biology, worked in contemporary art, and enjoyed living life at its fullest. Valerie founded Friendsheep with the aim of providing high quality, eco-friendly products that respect animals and the environment while also providing work and purpose to women and disabled artisans in underprivileged communities of Nepal. Friendsheep now provides fair wages to hundreds of people in Nepal, and their Nepali and US employees have become part of their family.
