I am an artist designer who has an online store on Zazzle.com. I’m paid by them every month on the 15th. Last month my paycheck (that gets automatically deposited into my PayPal account) was short by $95.00. In 12 years of working with Zazzle, this had never happened before. It took a couple weeks of calling & writing them but I finally got a response: it was due to a State Levy on my wages.
My Zazzle account is in my husband’s name and the state taxes are his. I should have straightened this out earlier but to be honest, because I haven’t been working on it lately, I forgot all about changing the account over. I usually upload artwork several times a month to my Zazzle account and create new items (which is how you stay relevant on that website) but ever since my husband died a few months ago, I was depressed and grieving and just hadn’t been in the mood or frame of mind to create any new artwork..
As an online seller, this is my busiest time of the year. If I’d been working regularly on my artwork as I usually do, my paycheck (based on past yearly averages) would have been between $1,200 to $1,600. Fortunately for me, because I’ve been part of Zazzle for so many years, I have tons of artwork already on their website but you only get more sales from being visible and the only way you stay highly visible is to be engaged on a frequent basis. Therefore my check will be a lot smaller than it usually it’s still major to me since my only other income is Social Security. I sorely need this check to pay bills and I’m terrified to be without it.
I need $837.00 $807.00 $797.00 $792.00 $155.00 $80.00. [CHALLENGE WAS MET]

UPDATE 11-28-19: Thank you Kossacks for all the donations so far and Happy Thanksgiving to all. My final balance needed is $80.00. It may not seem like a lot but $80.00 is a whole lot to me right now. It would make a difference. If you can — please, please help me get to the finish line. Thank you.
If you can help me in any way, please send your donation via PayPal via my cheryl@cheryldanielsart.com email address. Thank you very much.
