My name is Zac Leconte a simple but proud U.S. veteran. I’m asking for donations of military and K9 gear. If you have gear that\u2019s old, new, or you just do not know what the hell to do with it anymore, please consider donating it. Understand that we expect nothing but we hope to make a difference.<\/p>\n

The gear will be donated to selected Anti-Poaching Units (APU) in South Africa. Sending tailored packages to their frontline APU K9s & Rangers in the War for Elephants, Rhinos & Endangered Wildlife.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To those who donate or already have. Your name will be logged into an annal for future publication & recognition. If you’d like to rep your state just drop the abbreviation and we’ll make it known!<\/p>\n

Through Military Family Support Group (MFSG) El Dorado County, CA. I am raising awareness for this APU campaign. I am choosing to help outfit Anti-Poaching Rangers & K9 Units by outfitting them for their war on poachers. I feel that this is crucial in terms of keeping current wildlife well protected while we aid from afar. We’ve already inventoried and photographed our current donations. We’re 7 duffels full and we just started! When care packages are assembled they will be sent out (w\/ inventory slip & photo to Org. founders for accountability) and we will track the APU donations via FBook, Twitter, Instagram handles to keep everyone posted!<\/p>\n

We’re going to make some people smile, some Rhinos too. \u00a0Currently supporting –\u00a0Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation<\/a>&\u00a0PitTrack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

P.S. If you’re not already on board w\/ the campaign here are the handles – Twitter.com\/zmleconte14 FBook – Zac Leconte<\/em><\/p>\n

P.P.S. No expectations and no obligations, donate what you are willing and able to. No donation too small. If you’d like to mail your donation contact MFSG or myself for that info.<\/em><\/p>\n
