I am giving up smoking and I need sponsors! Now, I smoke about 15 cigarettes a day and plan to quit by weaning myself off them over the next 12 months. That really sounds doable to me.

As you can read in my profile at the top right of this page, I had to give my beloved Congo African Grey parrot Toby up for adoption several years ago (That's a picture of Toby on the right.) I want to use breaking my smoking habit to sponsor Rocco another Congo Africa Grey currently being rehabilitated at The Gabriel Goundation. That costs $75 a month.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. No amount is too small. I started the ball rolling myself with a $30 donation.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
