Our Story: For Rachel. For Paris.
Project StarPaw began in the quiet space where grief meets gratitude. It was born from the loss of two amazing spirits: Rachel, a beloved friend who fought a long, courageous battle against cancer and Paris, a Jack Russell Terrier whose constant joyful presence was a light in every room she entered. Rachel and Paris both fought for many years, their fight has inspired many.
In the wake of these losses, we didn't just want to remember; we wanted to respond.
An Evolving Legacy
What began as an idea to honor two lives has grown into a movement. As our vision for supporting families expanded, we realized that our name needed to fully capture the beautiful intersection of human courage and the unconditional love of our animal companions.
We are proud to introduce Project StarPaw!
The "Star" honors the light Rachel left behind and the "Paw" honors the joy Paris brought into everyday life. Together, they represent the heart of our mission.

The Mission
We realized that when a diagnosis enters a family’s life, it often consumes the space where joy and "normalcy" used to live. We saw a need—not for more medical intervention, but for more human intervention. We saw a need for moments that belong to the family, not the hospital.
Our Philosophy: Moments Cancer Can’t Take Away
We don’t fight cancer—we create the space where life happens in spite of it. We realized that when a diagnosis enters a family’s life, it consumes the space where joy used to live. We saw a need, not for more medical intervention, but for more human intervention.
We are here to ensure that cancer doesn't get the last word. By turning the memory of Rachel and Paris into tangible acts of kindness, we ensure their legacy isn't defined by the end of their lives, but by the love they continue to inspire in others.
The Legacy Continues
Today, Project StarPaw serves as a reminder that love is an enduring force. By turning the memory of Rachel and Paris into tangible acts of kindness, we ensure their legacy isn't defined by the end of their lives, but by the love they continue to inspire in others.
