May of 2023 marked 10
May of 2023 marked 10 years of freedom for Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus, and Amanda Berry.
Knight — who now goes by Lily Rose Lee — started Unleashed Animal Rescue, a non-profit helping surrendered pets find forever homes. We spoke to her about her plans for expansion back in April as she approached the 10th anniversary of her freedom, and just a few weeks later, construction was underway, helping to meet the needs of more animals.
Lily Rose invited us back out to share in the progress. Her voice, once silenced by evil, is now strong, determined and inspiring. These are her words about how Unleashed Animal Rescue came to be -- and all she believes it can be.
"Ever since I was a little girl, I had a real deep connection with animals, because I went through a traumatic experience with my family and animals seemed to help me get through some of my stresses and my anger towards my family.
"It's an extraordinary special reason why I wanted to do [start Unleashed Animal Rescue]. For one, I watched countless animals throughout my years of being held captive being killed in front of me.
"I wanted to be a lot of things — I wanted to be a dancer, I wanted to be a singer, I wanted to be a veterinarian, I wanted to be a cook. But [with] a lot of those things ... I liked it, but I didn't love it. I love taking care of animals."
