Several people have asked about sending Kate birthday or Christmas-inspired money to put towards her trip to Africa in March 2016. She will be spending a month working at two different animal rescue organizations; the first is working with urban animals in Capetown, South Africa and the second is working with wild animals outside of Harare, Zimbabwe. In addition to the travel itself she has also had to arrange for travel insurance (including medical evacuation coverage) and undergo a series of unexpectedly expensive travel immunizations (including a $900 round of rabies preventative that we’re unclear about insurance coverage on) so gifts of money towards her trip this holiday season are deeply appreciated!

So, friends and family, here’s your chance.

We thought about setting up a GoFundMe or a FundMyTravel account for her but decided to go with just putting up a PayPal donation button. We hope you find it simple to use. Feel free to contact Nicole if you run into any problems, though! And THANKS from The Kate.
