Secret Reef - Don't Trash Our Treasure Link

I’m fundraising for Urban Paradise Guild because living so close to Everglades National Park, where the beauty of old Florida still lives makes me appreciate nature differently. Anyone who knows me knows how deeply I care about protecting animals; it’s been the driving force behind everything I do. That’s why UPG means so much to me.

This organization builds and restores habitat for endangered and beloved Florida species, from manatees and dolphins to countless birds and coastal wildlife. They helped secure protections for the last remaining bird rookery in Northern Biscayne Bay by working closely with FWC, and their community education programs have even taught my daughter how to identify invasive plants like oyster plants. They are currently working to protect one of the last thriving nearshore reefs in Miami Dade County.

I’m asking for your support because this work matters. My goal is simple: twenty donations of $25. And if you feel called to give more—and are able to—it would mean the world to me and help UPG continue protecting the places and creatures we all care about.

Please join me in supporting this incredible organization.
