COVID-19 Aid: Tips for Kicks NYC
Donation protected
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FOR INDIVIDUALS FINANCIALLY IMPACTED BY COVID-19 IN NYC.
Dear all,
I am starting this fundraiser to aid those financially impacted by the social distancing movement in NYC. I am grateful that I am able to work from home and still get paid at my job, but it's made me realize that others are not so fortunate. Many individuals are unable to work from home because of the nature of their jobs, but their hours are being cut regardless. Some of those immediately impacted are service industry workers, salon industry workers, and entertainment industry performers, aka people who rely on tips.
I am calling on the community and beyond to donate a tip, just for kicks. I don't have anything to give you in return, but hopefully we can come together in this time and help each other out. I'm not part of any organization, I'm just doing this on my own. If you are nervous to donate because you don't know me, I guess you're just going to have to trust a stranger.
HOW IT WORKS:
Think about how much you tip for a coffee, a meal, a haircut, or a live band playing at a bar. You donate however much you want. It goes into a pot and is divided among applicants who have been immediately impacted. Once it's divided up, it might not be a lot for them, but it's something.
HOW TO DONATE:
Donate through GoFundMe.
HOW SOON TO DONATE:
The campaign will run through Saturday, March 28th to ensure that workers can get their tips ASAP.
HOW TO APPLY FOR AID:
You must be an NYC resident who relies on tips to supplement your income. You must apply by Monday, March 23rd to be considered.
Email the following to [email redacted] :
• Proof of employment
• A short description of the nature of your work
• Your Venmo handle
All applicants will be notified whether they are approved through email.
Kind regards,
Ivy
