Cause an Uproar!

Not too long ago, I decided to donate to the 'Cause an Uproar" organization by National Geographic that focuses on saving big cats all over the world in places like Botswana, Africa for example. I have always been an animal lover. I would have to think that the majority of people in this world are. I mean, who wouldn't want to hold a soft, furry koala bear? Or allow a sloth to latch itself onto you with its lanky arms around your neck... looking up at you with those endearing eyes. Okay, so maybe that's just my dream, but the whole point is there are more to "animals" than just the normal house pets. Not that they don't need help too because they do. By all means, they do. But you have to look at the bigger picture. People hunt and kill lions and tigers for their fur, elephants for their tusks, rhino's for their horns, alligators for their skin. It's a shame. It deeply saddens me to know that wild animals, the creatures that make this world so unique and BEAUTIFUL, are becoming extinct. What's going to happen to this world, to the food chain, when big cats are going to be the next dinosaurs? Nothing but a memory. I refuse to let that happen. Not let's be real here. How am I going to make a difference? I'm only one human being. A young struggling-with-money 24 year old woman who wishes she had all of the money in the world to help save all of the animals. There isn't much I can do. I think about it sometimes. But then I realize, there IS something I can do. I can continue to donate, knowing my money is going to great causes AND I can let other people be aware of the issue. I can educate. Which I have. Although, I know I won't be able to save every single animal, let alone one, but my contribution is a lot better than nothing. People like me, LOVE animals. But for some reason, many do nothing about it. Whether it's because they don't have the money to donate to charities and organizations, or because they don't think it's a big deal, people simply do NOTHING. They don't spread the word about issues on extinction or animals in danger of being wiped off of the planet. This is where I come in...


Cause an Uproar is a fantastic organization based solely on the fact that big cats such as lions, need all of the help and support they can get to prevent from disappearing. YOU can make a difference. Every little bit counts. I'm not asking you to donate hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I would if I could. But even something as little as $5 CAN and WILL make a difference.

Now, because I donated to this fund a while ago, I was recently invited by the National Geographic organization to attend a special screening on Feb. 17th at 7pm in NY at the Chelsea Cinema to see the film "The Last Lions" followed by a Q&A by the 2 filmmakers. I AM absolutely ECSTATIC! Not only am I looking forward to seeing this incredible true story on survival, but I am even more excited to speak with the filmmakers and get their intake on the matter and their experience on filming such an invasive topic. I would do anything to travel the foreign lands and see these beautiful creatures face to face. And I will. I WILL go on an African safari and take miraculous pictures of the creatures that bless our lands with their presence.

This is why I dedicate myself to amazing causes because although I ask for nothing in return, I still get the gift of being a part of something absolutely worth my time, money & dedication! It's an amazing world we live in.

Please visit the site and donate anything. If you can't, at least spread the word to people who can. This really is a great cause. Do you really want to see these big cats disappear? I don't. Thank You.
