Mermaid for Ocean Conservation
Donation protected
Hello everyone!
My name is Victoria Stake and I am a mermaid that is trying to raise awareness about the conservation of the ocean and other bodies of water in Fort Collins, Colorado. However, my current tail is too beat up and too plain to continue promoting this awareness. The video below is my current tail from a year ago, and it did a good job of helping me tell kids about protecting the ocean and other bodies of water but I am unable to promote this message any further with this tail.
Last year I had to stop promoting because I had to go to the hospital due to serve anemia. This caused me to stay out of the water for 3 months while I recovered and I have had trouble regaining the support I lost during these months.
Now that I am better I want to raise money for a better mermaid tail that will have more of an impact by having a new tail. Ideally, I would love to have the funds by January 2016 in order to get back on track for promoting and taking a different approach to ocean conservation.
This new tail that would help assist with this approach would look like the emperor fish when it is young in order to say that everything starts young and needs a chance to grow-up in a safe and healthy environment. The fluke would be of the well known beta fish from pet stores to help show the beauty and grace the ocean has in it that needs our help. This tail would help me gain more attentive audiences when discussing what people can do to help out. This is what that tail would look like:
This means so much to me because of everything the ocean does for us and that I think people in the land-locked areas forget that sometimes. I also believe that mermaids help children understand the importance of conservation without boring them.
If any money goes towards my goal, I would be incredibly thankful knowing that there are people out there who think that this is important. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my gofundme!
