Later than planned, we're back to raise funds for seals and send stickers with seal art out into the world. This time there's an awesome line-up!

Our seal org is Aroha Seal Sanctuary
They are a a tiny but mighty charity providing intensive and stabilizing care as a temporary holding facility on the Outer Hebrides (Scotland). Seals stay there for 1-5 days. This may not sound like much, but it saves lives. Full rehab centers are a 6-8 hours journey away (and sometimes not reachable at all if the weather is too bad for ferry crossings). Before Aroha existed, no two years ago, this meant a lot of pups on the Western Isles were doomed, because they were to unwell to make the transport. With Aroha's care until they're stable enough, these pups now have a second chance!

Our artist is the one and only w33nus
If you support Aroha between June 3 and June 17 and send proof to The Seal Signal, you can claim a sticker by fabulous seal artist w33nus! The sticker design is exclusive for this Donation Dive and will never be sold, only given away as a thank-you for the next 2 weeks.

Did I say one sticker? Nope!

Check out the website for more info - this time, there's also an interview with Aroha's core team about their work, and an interview with our artist w33nus for you!

International mail - US donors special notice:

Last time most of the seal mail arrived in 1-2 weeks, but USPS in the USA was incredibly slow, 8-10! weeks! I hope it won't happen again (because there's no holiday letter congestion this time), but I can't promise.

If you're from the US and absolutely don't want to risk waiting, I can arrange for a tracked letter - but I would ask you to adjust your donation a little bit, because tracked costs more than 5$. In this case, please add "tracked" to your address, and I'll make it so. But as far as I know, all letters from last time made it in the end.

Hope to send you a letter soon!
Simone from The Seal Signal
