Help me keep the lights on
Donation protected
HOME STRETCH (EDIT).
Since launching this fundraiser, I've managed to pick up some side work here & there and it's been (to put it lightly) wonderful. But as many of you know, money often goes out faster than it can come in. So here it is, the final push. I still need a few more things to put me where I need to be.
Those things are:
Phone bill: $195
Internet: $122
Utilities (gas & electricity): $197
Donations have been slow and that's okay. I know a lot of you are dealing with the very same thing. These are mad times, so a lot of us are feeling like we're running uphill yet going nowhere. I can see a light though, I can feel hope in the coming days (maybe weeks), I know things will get better if we hang in there.
If you made it here, you either know me personally or know me through my work. As many of you know, I do my artwork for a living. As the holiday season came and went, do did all the funding I had set aside to weather this notorious down-time. Luckily my financial institutions have been understanding up until now. So it is with great humility and humbleness that I ask for help.
$3000 is all I need to get caught up with the mortgage, utilities and things like fuel and food. Anything beyond that might go to getting me to more conventions, but that's "IF". And I'm okay with that.
One of my recent personal projects is a small book called "Who's Strong?" and it's about a lifelong journey told in 30 simple sentences. Those who donate to this campaign will get a piece of this upcoming project. More details will follow, but right now... I'm very excited.
Thank you. Thank you all so very much.
