The first time I saw a manatee in the wild, I watched people at Florida’s Blue Spring State Park return a rehabilitated manatee to the river. Another manatee rose from below and gave the newcomer a nudge. It looked so much like a greeting that I stood there with tears streaming down my face. I’ve written before about that day and why manatees mean so much to me.
November is Manatee Awareness Month. I’m grateful to have these beautiful creatures to care about, and grateful for everyone who helps protect them, especially Save the Manatee Club.
I’ve just donated $733 to the Club, representing 10% of my denisebrain profit since my last donation. If those of you who’d like to give can help raise another $733 by November 30, together we’ll have given $1,466.
If you’ve bought a piece of vintage from me, you’ve already helped make my gift possible. Thank you. If you’d like to help match it, you can give through my JustGiving page. Small gifts count (a lot!), and sharing the page helps too.
