Dear Mariah,
What a wonderful job you're doing to help save the gorillas! Thank you very much for your efforts and for helping to make others aware of the gorillas' needs.
We at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International appreciate so much knowing that you're helping to save these magnificent creatures with your support. The funds that you raise help keep our trackers and anti-poaching patrols in the field, making sure the gentle giants are safe.
Thank you again for your magnificent work and we look forward to the day when we can meet such a wonderful young lady.

I have been driving around with a bag full of old cell phones and "stuff" my family and I had long since replaced, not knowing what to do with them. I was so happy to read your poster and know that what you are doing will help make the world a better place for my children's children and future generations of all who inhabit this earth! Good luck with reaching your goal, and keep up the good work.

Dear Mariah: Your love and caring of life and our planet is reflected in your site. All creatures on this planet, large and small, are important in one way or another. Yet we share a kinship with our closest relatives, the other great apes. What we particularly see in gorillas are creatures of great sensitivity and intelligence. They share with us anger and sadness, embarassment and pride, joy and love. How can we not feel a connectedness, especially when we see Koko and other gorillas at Stanford using sign language with her handlers, and creating thoughts, questions and observations out of symbols?
Your site shows what very young people can do, and how much caring they can put out into the world. The gorillas definitely need all the assistance they can get, and your contribution through this site not only helps them, but gets others, both kids AND adults involved. I suspect you'll be going to Africa someday soon to see our wonderful cousins, and when you do, we'll all be with you in spirit. Be well. With love, Your cousin Frank
