Well, spring term is over. Thank goodness. This one was pretty bad. And I never want to talk to another financial aid office. Which, unfortunately, isn't possible.
Oh well.
So I'm back in time for the first donation for May. Like I promised, it will be on behalf of all the pets I've had and animals I've known. This is the second official donation by the subsection of the Jane Austen Maids Foundation known as the Jake and Lars (etc.) Foundation. I know I wrote earlier that I was going to donate to pet rescues this month, but I can't ignore the disaster going on right now in the Gulf. It's already impacting animals. Whales suffocating as they come up for air, turtles already covered in oil. It's been a long time since I bought gas at BP, mostly because there is not one convenient to me. Thank goodness.
I looked around online and found the Louisiana Wildlife Rehabilitator Association, http://www.lawraonline.com/. They have a fund to support local wildlife rehabilitation and maintain a list of approved wildlife rehabilitators in the area and will have a support line for found oiled wildlife.
Lars was sitting on my lap when I found the site, and I showed him the site and asked him if he wanted to donate money to help save the turtles and birds. He agreed. Thank goodness. And thank goodness for the goodness of the people who care enough to clean oil off of animals.
