It’s done — Goal met! … and now LuvLee can get back to napping! Many many thanks to all who helped with donations, purchases, and just by keeping this diary going — y’all ROCK, d’ya hear me?
I am still coming up short on the funds to make my house payment for January. My previous diary ended with $335 $0 needed to make the payment. And I know it’s short timing, but if I can get it together by the 13th (ie, by tonight, say 11 pm Eastern) I can start the bank transfers on time to avoid the late fees.
Also, there’s an offer of a $75 match! That would zoom things toward the finish line:)
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 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, along with the long-term solution I would really love to see manifest:
PayPal is burchjan atgmail dotcom (friends and family, please); purchases using PayPal from my Zibbet shop and "coffee" through Ko-Fi will also help.
… and to help solve the long-term problem, please consider supporting my Patreon page — Patreon is like “Act Blue” for artists, and is a way of moving creative types to a sustainable income.
Fyi, my Zibbet shop is where I sell my arts & crafts. My tag line is “I make beautiful things that make people happy” and your support helps me keep on doing that! Using PayPal when you check out with your order will get the funds to me immediately so I can count them towards this goal; other methods can take as long as a week or more.
Here’s an example of what’s on offer from my shop ~
One more thing: for those who want to know How I Got Here, I refer you to this diary, wherein I detail the backstory about my precarious financial situation. But the short answer is, I outlived my money… which is not a good feeling. It’s weird.
Last and final word (as almost always) goes to LuvLee the Cat:
Thanks for reading this, and please help get the word out by sharing, tweeting, rec and tipping … because that helps, too!

W00t — goal met! As always, thanks to everyone who helped. Now I can get back what I think I should be doing… Fyi, tomorrow I will be sending out acknowledgment emails to those who made purchases this evening. And I also try to get thank-you’s to those who donated, but sometimes I slip and miss someone. Please know, my heartfelt thanks are always there, even if the email isn’t ;)
