… for help with my house payment. I’d really rather be making stuff, but as long as the sales of my handiwork limp along, I’ll need to periodically reach out for help. I am coming up short on the funds to make my house payment for November. I've had some help, but I still need to raise $600 $230 $155 $60 $0 — goal met! Now I can get it in on time to avoid the late fees. Many thanks to those who’ve already helped bring it down from the original shortfall — despite all the attention that’s rightfully gone to the election, and other current events, you took the time to help me & LuvLee :)
As many of you know, I run an arts & crafts business that provides my earned income. I have other facets of my creative business that provide which is a boost when they happen, but it’s usually very few and far between. But … the sales often don’t stretch far enough to keep the roof over my head. Here are the immediate ways to help, and I’ll tell about a possible long-term solution in bit:
PayPal is burchjan atgmail dotcom (friends and family, please); purchases using PayPal from my Zibbet shop and "coffee" through Ko-Fi will also help.
Fyi, my Zibbet shop is where I sell my arts & crafts. I have lots of neat stuff that makes great gifts (early holiday shopping, anyone?) and check out the Sale items, too. Note: Using PayPal when you check out with your order will get the funds to me immediately; other methods can take up to a week).
Here’s a couple of good gift idea from my shop ~
Another great way to help while keeping me making stuff is to support my Patreon page. In fact new or increased pledges will help me now, with the first pledge reaching me immediately, and help me later as subsequent pledges are charged on the 1st of every month to follow. It’s a great way to build sustainable income for artists, and my Patrons get early access to my creative output, plus exclusive content and really cool thank-you gifts for being part of “Team Jan” ;)
PS: for those who want to know How I Got Here: Let me refer you to this diary, wherein I detail the backstory about my precarious financial situation. But the short answer is, I outlived my money.
Since LuvLee got the first word, I’m handing the last word off to one my other “pets” ;)
Thanks for reading this, and please help get the word out by sharing, tweeting, rec and tipping … because that helps, too!
