Recording Cost/Tour Support

Everyone knows that going on tour and recording an album for an independent artist can be very expensive. I've been recording since the top of the year and I'm nearly halfway finished, with only 5 more songs to record with full band. In the midst of recording a full length album, consistently performing, writing for a motion picture film, and now preparing for tour, I could definitely use the financial support!  I did a rough estimate of what it would take for me to successfully complete my album & tour. $3000 would cover the next -four studio sessions, -airfare & lodging during tour  -& merchandise for tour In order to assure that I'll have merchandise before tour starts September 27th @ Thalia Hall in Chicago, I'll need to reach my goal by Aug 31st!!! So far this year has been so amazing, from opening for Lalah Hathaway at the House of Blues to Packing out Navy Pier for Pride! I'm overwhelmed with the amount of support I get every day through emails and IG #KEEPTHATSAMEENERGY I would really appreciate the help! Thank you for your time and love.
