The OrnateSky Fund
Started 2-21-03

Many of you know Gina from various internet sources where her time and knowledge has contributed greatly to helping reptile owners around the world. For years, she has taken the time out of her busy schedule to help anyone that needed it and never asked for anything in return. Her selflessness and kindness is responsible for saving the lives of countless pets with the information she provides, and the animals she rescues to rehab then adopt out to a loving home, mostly at her own expense. She has never asked for anything in return, she does it for the love of reptiles. It's rare to find people with this level of dedication and the herp community will surely miss her until she can return.

Now it is our turn to step up and take care of one of our own. Gina is a single parent, mother of 3, and she needs our help! I implore all of you, no, I'm begging all of you please, help out one of our most valuable and loved "herp family" members in any way you can. You can help by clicking on the donation button below and make your own donation. If you are new to Paypal, you get $5 for signing up and we get $5 for the referral if you register using the largest banner below. We will donate our $5 for each new user. Please take a moment to say a prayer for Gina and her family and help out as much as you can!
