I am so glad that people like you guys are doing this, I want to be part of this and help out our amazing creatures. I am from Mexico and my mayor is biologist.

I want to say thanks y'all for doing what you are doing even if you guys don't get paid that much, I'm impressed. Keep up :)

AWRE 11/22/2014
Thank you so much for your kind words but realize you do not have to travel the world (my dream, too) to help wildlife, they are in your own backyard and educating children to care for and respect native wildlife is so very important as well. There are just so many ways to help our wildlife and teaching children that one person can make a difference and they can be that person is what I feel is most important. Thanks again, God Bless One and All, dave PS, "don't get paid that much"? No one gets paid at AWRE, most of the time we don't even get reimbursed which means 100% of all donations go directly to the aid of our injured wildlife
