Please help me raise money for the Save the Manatee Club. The cause is urgent right now.

I imagine many of you know that I give 10% of my denisebrain sales to Save the Manatee Club—manatees are a year-round cause for me. Their survival is precarious because of the things we as humans do that cause manatees harm. But there is a special urgency this year.

This winter season has been devastating for manatees, with more than 430 dying since the beginning of the year. Many appear to have starved to death. Their winter safe havens are so polluted that their food sources have been choked off.

I have set up a Go Fund Me page to raise emergency rescue funds for the Save the Manatee Club. If you go to that page, you can read more about this issue, and find more ways to help. Please, if you can, make a donation. If you are not able, please share the page: Manatees: Unprecedented Need.

Manatees have been around for between 30 and 60 million years. We can't let human carelessness and selfishness wipe this gentle and intelligent species off the face of the earth.
