Help with Publishing Fees for book: "Sleeping Flowers"

Donation protected
After one year, I am pleased to finally announce I signed my contract with Pacific Punishing in June 2025. (https://pacificpublishings.com/)

As a completion of one chapter and the beginning of a new one, often people pen down their journey and so my tale spun through poetry, illustrations, and words of wisdom. "Sleeping Flowers" includes roughly 498 pages including my own illustrations, 124 poems written in English. At times dark, at times vibrant.

For the past 10 years, I battled for my independence as a single woman, to "achieve something" and "become someone" all the things society is putting on us. I took risks for my personal projects, made financial & time investments in education, organisations, people and relations. Seeded lots of seeds but non bared fruits ...

Flowers need water, nourishment and care. As much as I water my own projects, a bakery won't sell bread without a customer and so is my journey, despite my efforts, stuck for the past last 10 years. The hardship, neglect and abuse I faced along the road of my independence, left me today with chronical spinal conditions and other ailments.

Poetry & Art lye in my ancestral blood. The wisdom attained are the life-lessons I received and the blessings from the silent whispers beneath my bare feet. The teachings of this magnificent resource, life-barer to humanity called "Mother Earth", "Pancha Mama", "Bhumi Devi".

I welcome you to the journey of infinite cycles called "life"

In this moment, my book is in its second editing phase and already paid 500€ with the funds I received and collected from selling flowerbaths last year. However I am missing an aditional 700€ (to get it online) or 2000€ (to have a hardcover displayed bookstores and librabries).

With your support I hope to publish it around December 17th for Christmas.
