Wildlife Warriors

For about a decade, The Crocodile Hunter ruled my roost. My boys, especially Soren, were fascinated by all things Steve Irwin. I was pretty sure I’d come home one day to an alligator in our tub. I did come home to a lot of creatures, both in the tub & out, but never an alligator. Thank God.

I grew up on The Black Stallion, Born Free and The Last Giraffe. I’ve only ever been lucky enough to have horses in my life (I miss my ChinChin) but I love all the animals. Especially giraffes! Between all our love of animals, and the ubiquitous presence of Steve Irwin for so many years, you can imagine how broken my heart is by the bushfires in Australia and the loss of over a billion animals.

A. Billion.

Not just a billion lost, but also so many injured. The images are horrific. I will not share or subject you to them. I did see them, and with every image my heart sank more. I had to help. I had to help the only way I know how. To raise money and send donations. And the only way I know to do that is to create a Charity kit.

My team was more than willing to help me. I love their dedication not just to the Studio, but also to helping others. I really do work with a beautiful bunch of Designers. Together they created a wonderful Mega Kit: Wildlife Warriors.

100% of the proceeds will go directly to Steve Irwins Wildlife Warriors. They recently saved their 90,000 animal (Ollie! The Platypus!) and are raising money to build another ward in the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Hospital. I want to help them get there.

You can help by purchasing this kit or by donating directly at Wildlife Warriors.

About the Author: Toiny

My name is Toiny (pronounced Twa-knee) and I am the Studio site owner and a Designer at heart. I especially love creating word arts and tools to help others create. I learned photoshop from my Father-in-Law while printing alien t-shirts for the tourists in Roswell, NM. Once I touched photoshop, I never let it go. It's a creative addiction! I currently live with four-out-of-six kids, my husband & two ornery cats in the Black Forest, Germany. Or as they say in German: Der Schwarzwald. I design under the name: Schwarzwald Design at the Studio.

Thanks Toiny for those amazing words. Living in Queensland and being so fortune to actually go to Australia Zoo the home of Steve Irwin – wow what a man he was. Infact my family visited the zoo the day after he died, what emotion the quietness of the place was so weird as it is normally a bustling place. We chose that day to go as we already had tickets, we took flowers and laid them outside the entrance along with so many others. I was actually at the zoo only a year ago and it is still going strong although sadly not in the light that Steve had wanted it to be. His family have turned it into more of an attraction along the lines of what they have in the US. I just pray it does not change anymore or it will take away what it was meant to be like – in saying that it is an amazing place and the hospital is fantastic, the day we were there they had just brought an old turtle in and it was massive.
