Goal

This year I want to promote and support many of my favorite charities. Some of these will be personally important, some will be timely based on world events and some may be groups I discover over this year of giving. I hope by creating this blog, donating my daily $5.00 and bringing attention to the cause, I can change the world in a good way. Please consider following my lead by making a donation to any of the groups that resonate with you.

Brittany Maynard Fund


Your generous tax-deductible contribution to the Brittany Maynard Fund will directly help pass laws in states where death with dignity is not yet authorized. Your donation will help honor Brittany’s final mission: ensuring that no one should have to uproot their life in the middle of a grave illness, simply to access a peaceful death that comports with their values. Your support helps make that dream a reality.

Proboscis Monkey.Org


Proboscis Monkeys can only live in Borneo and need large protected areas to survive. Borneo loses forests equivalent to an area of about a third of Switzerland every year, or at a rate of 3.2 million acres, much of it to feed the voracious appetite for timber in the West and Asia. Indonesia’s forests are being destroyed at a rate of 4.9 million acres a year.

Terra Nature Fund



What makes the 'edge ecology' internationally important ......
New Zealand was one of the last places on Earth colonized by humans, with one of the worst biological losses. Unique ecological events occurred during the archipelago's 80 million year isolation from the rest of the world, after the Zealandia continent broke away from the Gondwana super-continent.
As mammals developed in most places, New Zealand's exceptionally odd ecology evolved with three bats as the only land mammals.  With the world's most extensive collection of flightless birds, 80 percent endemism in plants, gigantism in insects, and prehistoric living fossils preceding dinosaurs, the country is a biological treasure chest.

The minimum donation through Network for Good is $10. This donation will be for both October 28 &29.
