“It’s a Girl,” in Eliza Waters’ exact words: Reblog
What’s it like to foster parent butterflies? Eliza Waters fills us in colorfully …
The first of the monarchs (Danaus plexippus) I have been fostering on my kitchen counter this past month hatched today and it’s a female. Like any proud parent, I think she is perfect and beautiful! I feel hopeful for her future, but it will be a long road for her, fraught with obstacles.

So today, I decided to write about Organ Donation to spread the awareness! I hope you will let others know about this too!

- Internal organs: Kidneys, heart, liver, pancreas, intestines, lungs
- Skin
- Bone and bone marrow
