Funded relief efforts?

Not sure which area to post these days...

Being an animal lover of all kinds, I'm sickened as much as the locals are to see what's going on with the coastal wildlife. I want to help. I want to be down there, collecting eggs to put in a hatching box, scrubbing off a turtle or pelican with anti-goop (woolite?) and seeing it placed for recovery and rehoming.

But, I have financial responsibilities, as we all do, like a house and bills, etc. Being in the process of starting a start-up, I have flexibility with my location and hours to the point of being able to "shut down" for awhile and be somewhere else. The sacrifice is that no income leads to bad things like foreclosure, and I'm really keen on keeping my house and babies.

Are you aware of any entities that are looking for paid volunteers to come and provide physical assistance? Obviously not a 6figure position, but enough to supplement loss of income to an extent.... If so, I'll be down on Tuesday! Maybe BP should be offering something like this - the only positive PR they'd be able to manage.
