Lewis The Koala Save Australia Enamel Pin

Description

As just about the entire planet knows, Australia had severe fires that burned up the continent over a 210-day span. In that time, an estimated 1 BILLION animals perished in the fires. In November, I saw a video of a koala being rescued from the fires by a woman who took off her shirt to cover him and take him to safety. This video pulled hard on my heartstrings to see him suffering in such a manner. He was taken to the vet and was treated for his wounds. He was named Lewis and was going to be added to the breeding program once he fully recovered. After a few days, his injuries were too severe to heal and the vet decided the best way to help him was to euthanize him. (images are with the images of the pin)
I created this pin to honor Lewis and the other animals who died in the fire. The production of the pin took a very long time to complete because of the planet going into lockdown because of the recent virus pandemic. I am going to donate the profits from the sales of this pin to the Australia Zoo. The Australia Zoo was started by Steve Irwin’s (The Crocodile Hunter) parents and is run by the Irwin’s. Just know that the money will go to a great cause and will be used to help the animals. As I send the money to the zoo, I will add images of the receipts.
I hope you will want one of my pins.

Please message me if you have any questions.
FYI! I work 4 days on 4 days off of 12-hour shifts. I don't deal with pin stuff when I am working because there is no time. I will ship out pins on my first day off.
Yes, I will combine shipping for multiple pins from my shop.
