Every year the Starz members vote where we should donate our "extra" funds. This year the members voted for our very own Donzm.

Congratulations Donzm!!! We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to the turtles.

When we help out a fellow member and organization it feels so great and we can really feel how much love HTP has. We aren't just an ordinary forum... we are a family. A family that I am so proud to be a part of!

Donzm... I'm so happy that HTP is able to help you out with all the incredible work you do! Your care and dedication to your turtles is more than amazing. Your devotion to HTP and wisdom is a tremendous addition.. so thank YOU for all you do, you truly deserve it!

Congratulations. After seeing some of the work that you have been doing to educate the public, all of your work here with visitors, and all the help you provide to rescue turtles, well lets just say it was pretty easy to secure my vote

I know you will put the money to good use!

I just want to say a HUGE thank-you from the bottom of my heart for the incredibly generous donation I just received from you guys..... I still feel like I'm in a bit of a daze!

This whole turtle rescue/education thing has just taken off around me and yet somehow it all just works out. Your donation has been put into an account I started a few weeks ago specifically dedicated to turtle needs and bills etc. I plan to use it for some up coming vet bills and to revamp 5 turtle tanks. The tanks have those awful basking areas like the one that caused that poor turtles shell to rot that I posted about a few weeks ago. The tanks have been in my garage and only used in emergencies and with temporary ramps added to aid turtles climbing up onto basking areas. Now I can completely redesign the areas and have the new ones made for each tank. It will mean much deeper water and better space for the turtles when I'm using those tanks.

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU

Congratulations

There is no doubt the turtles you help will continue to have an even better chance at survival and live a much happier and healthier life.
Thank you

for taking such good care of all those little fellows.

We ought to have a sticky just for pics of Donzm's turtles...! Each one of them probably has it's own story.

Congratulations again Donzm. You do a great job and the turtles are very lucky to have you. I would love to see what our funds have allowed you to accomplish.

By the way we are able to donate $500 U.S. dollars.

Where your wonderful, generous donation is being spent....
Well "Tim the tank man" has been here twice this week and back tomorrow to continue modifying tanks to make the water deeper and basking areas safer for turtles! Working on 5 x 4ft tanks, 2 x 3ft tanks and also making a new one for the Reeves who are needing quite a specific tank now that the female is adult size. Also $250.00 went on Shellies vet bill for blood tests, consultations and X.rays. The results showed she has degenerative arthritis in her left front shoulder

( But at least we now know its not gout, which is what Yertle succumbed to last month. ) She will just carry on as normal living in her pond for now and I'll keep an eye to make sure shes not struggling to get out of the water etc. We had her on some anti-inflammatory drops...you would have seen Shellie getting her drops on the TV1 piece.... but after 4 wks there was no change and its more stressful for her treating her with something then letting her be. At least swimming is a great excercise for arthritis

So your donation is very, very helpful
