My Purpose

Hi! My name is Hailey. I'm ten years old. My favorite sea animal is the sea turtle, so after we learned about them in science, my mom took me to the Charleston Aquarium to see the Sea Turtle Rescue Center. I fell in love with the turtles. I learned that when we pollute the water, turtles get hurt. The staff at the rescue center take in sea turtles that are ill or injured, and take care of them until they are better. When they are well, the staff releases them back into the ocean.
Unfortunately, the center doesn't have a lot of funding. Most of the money they have to use comes from schools and other organizations that donate to them. When we left the rescue center, my mom and I started to talk about a website that could help sea turtles and other turtles.  I came up with several ways to inform you about the sea turtle and the rescue center at the Charleston Aquarium. First, I began this blog to talk about saving turtles and other wildlife. Also, I hope to raise money for the turtles at the Sea Turtle Rescue Center by fund raisers and donations.
I hope you could help me save the turtles and all wildlife creatures by reading my blog and learning with me!  I will let you know as soon as my mom sets up a non-profit account so that you can make donations if you wish! ALL money will go directly to the Sea Turtle Rescue Center.
Thanks for reading Turtle-y Terrific's first post!
