Hi friends! First off, I just want to apologize for taking so long to give you an update about the elephant donation charity post I made about a month ago! I was waiting for Bitcoin to rise a little before pulling the money out for the donation! It turns out, Nature Reserve Forests, was unable to accept Bitcoin, so I had to convert it to cash for them. Shout out to @earworm for helping with that. :)
For those of you who may not have seen the last post, you can check it out here. To summarize, all profits made from that post were donated to Nature Reserve Forests to help them rescue an elephant and plant over 1 million trees this year! This was a non-profit that I had the honor of visiting during my trip in Pai, Thailand. Their story and cause really touched me, and I wanted to show them that our Steemit community is filled with love and support.
So, you might ask... how much money did we end up raising?
WOW! $628 USD! Yup that's right. Does a little happy dance. I couldn't be prouder of our Steemit community. Thank you for showing up and supporting. Special thanks to @earworm @emjoe @creadordelfuturo for sending extra money via SBD and cash! You rock! What a pleasant surprise.
Thank you again times 10000x for all of the support. Hugs all around!
So, if this is your first time reading about this amazing non-profit, and you are thinking to yourself, "Darn it, I wanted to donate..." Here is a link to their donation site!
Much love,
Karen

That's miss UNIVERSE doing what she knows how to do best.

Heheh we have a special surprise for you! @polebird @erodedthoughts @acromott and I sent you some delegation so you can have a slider❤️ @acromott is Just having a bit of trouble setting up the delegation. Once complete, the slider should appear for you. Enjoy!
OMG. You guys are AWESOME.
Gosh, you people are spoiling me with much Love.
I am glad I found.you I will drop some messages on discord later. I am short of words to express my gratitude here.
Aww no worries, I wanted to wait until acromott finished with delegation... but I literally couldn’t wait with excitement ❤️
Thanks for not waiting. Haha.
Jeez. This is working. Imagine my vote has got some super power. OMG, I'm a bit teary now.
You guys just transformed me from zero to HERO. I am really short of words, I want to scream on your ears on discord.
hahaha! It's late for me right now, but DM tomorrow, lets chat! It was so nice to hear your voice today on the Discord channel :)
Ok, I will. Take care
Well done Karen! You're done a terrific job and we hope to be going up to Chiang Mai for Songkran (Thai New Year) in April and we will probably stay at an elephant sanctuary - maybe this one, maybe not as it's further away. Checking a few out! :)
awww! For sure! Don't go to the elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai... they are no good. This one is in Pai. Worth the trip to Pai for sure! When you go, please tell them I said hi! :)
Sure, we think we found one outside Chiang Mai, but unfortunately not your suggested elephant natural reserve in Pai. With the plans we have, we might not be able to make it to Pai. There's lots to explore in the North and we are sure to be back in that area. :)
Always heartwarming to hear these kinds of stories. I support you in everything you do when saving animals or helping other people. It is a noble cause a lot of people forgot!
I hope you feel encouragement from other people to give you extra strength when needed!
As Bob Marley said: Help the weak if you're strong! If we take seriously these words we can accomplish a lot and change our World to a better place!
Cheers, Luka
awww! thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to have your support.
wow that is so lovely of you helping raise money through the steemit community for this amazing charity to help save an elephant. This is what makes me love steemit so much seeing posts like this with people trying to help change the world for the better. Good on you Xx
awww! Thank you! The least I can do. Steemit has been wonderful to me! We need to share the love :)
God bless you <3
That is such a brutal thing to do .. to make them lose their animal instincts and make them submissive to human beings …totally agree how we should travel more responsibly. Good attempt ..keep it up !
The elephant will be donated to a nature reserve park after she gives birth to her baby! They are really doing great things.
what should I do not understand. @@@titanik
this is encouraging....i hope to do same too....you guys got a nice heart.
Waaahh, very happy to hear that, congrats sister, i hope i will be like you☺
awww! I couldn't have done it without the Steemit community! :)
Aww thats great!

I haven't made it to Pai yet... but I want to go visit your elephant now! I just saw the elephants the other day. I went to a place where the lady rescues them from Burma!
I spent 6 hours researching the places that treat the elephants well. I love you for this

continue in your awesomeness
Great job... Would love to be part of such events
Gives me good feelings reading this especially when in the News we read terrible stories regarding the planet and its life, especially elephants. Happy you were able to save a life. Don't know much background on your adventures but happy to see your efforts to fight evil, the support will continue, keep up the good fight:)

@karensuestudios
The First of all, I congratulate you on your effort to do all this for the world. good job, I have to admit to be heavy and requires tremendous energy. I see you have that ability. I am Sorry, as newbi I have not been able to make a contribution to this activity. I am from Aceh , we have the same history and area. Aceh and Thailand also have elephants. we both have serious problems in this regard. they recently ravaged the population. that's reality.
to colleagues let's help this activity so that Thailand and elephants can remain sustainable and become the icon of the world.
congratulations and successful friends
regards
