Shark Team One

Hello everyone,

My name is Gillian, and I'm writing because this means the world to me. I've always been fascinated by sharks as a kid. While other people were afraid of them, I saw something else: power, beauty, and a misunderstood animal that the world once treated like a monster. Now I want to fight for them.

Sharks are amazing. Sharks keep the health and balance of the ocean intact; they're nature's clean-up crew, essentially, keeping the ecosystems in balance. If they weren't around, all of a sudden everything in the ocean just falls apart. The truth, unfortunately… sharks are dying. Millions are killed each year, either simply for their fins or caught accidentally in fishing nets. There are some already teetering on the edge of extinction, like the zebra shark. And that breaks my heart.

I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. That's why I started this GoFundMe to raise money to save sharks before it's too late. Your donation will pay for real work saving sharks like conservation groups that protect their habitats, rescue sharks in need of medical care, and educate people about the truth about how crucial they are.

If you've ever been moved by the ocean, or felt that pull to protect something wild and beautiful, this is your chance. Every dollar helps. Whether it's $5 or $50, it means the world to me, and even more to the sharks we're trying to save.

Please share this with your loved ones and friends, and help me be a voice for the animals who have no voice. Together, we can keep sharks in the ocean where they belong, swimming freely, not vanishing in silence.

Hi, I am a middle school student trying to help the planet and the animals. I'm trying to raise money to donate to Sharks Team One, a non-profit organization to help the sharks. If the sharks go extinct, many different animals will overpopulate, and they will eat the coral reefs, causing harm to the environment. Please donate and help me save the sharks.
