About Hero
Stella DeMayo Veterinary Fund
Many companies offer matching gift programs that double—or even triple—your contribution to Return to Freedom. Others participate through corporate partnerships, sponsorships, or workplace giving campaigns. Together, these collaborations make a tangible difference in our ability to rescue, care for, and advocate for wild horses.

Stella DeMayo
Stella DeMayo, beloved wife of the late Bill DeMayo and mother of Return to Freedom's Founder, Neda DeMayo, passed away on August 17, 2020. Stella was a wonderful nurturer to all, and worked professionally as a registered nurse. She was also an herbalist and interested in holistic work and remedies.
Stella was always deeply concerned for the well-being of RTF’s horses and burros, especially when they were injured or sick. She always asked about their health, and was truly interested in their care.
In honor of Stella's nurturing nature and support, RTF has established the VETERINARY AND SPECIAL NEEDS FUND.
