1) The sticker fundraiser officially finished on Halloween! Ready for the final total? We raised ... $11,000! ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! I'm so excited about how well this went! I posted a few weeks ago with the first 5,000 donation, so we had 6,000 left to give. Today, I gave $1,200 to 5 charities: World Central Kitchen (specifically their fund for serving meals in Gaza), Trans Lifeline, Planned Parenthood, the Illinois ACLU, and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. See attached screenshots below!
(EDITED to add: I still have about 100 orders left to ship out, so if you didn't receive your stickers yet, you should get them by next week. I'm hoping to have the rest of the orders in the mail this week. Thank you all for your patience as I navigated my biggest order yet!)
2) the Chicago bracelets also brought in $640 for Indivisible Chicago! Last week, I posted on my community tab showing the receipt for that donation.
3) now that those fundraisers have ended, if you're still looking to get involved, I'm happy to announce that I've joined a new November writing challenge organized by fellow romance author Lyssa Kay Adams!
The challenge is called Writers Against Hunger, and all funds raised go to Feeding America, as a way to help with the government cutting SNAP benefits.
I kicked off my personal page with a $100 donation, but the entire challenge as a whole has already raised over $12,000 among all the writers!
I'll hopefully have time to run some writing streams on this channel for the challenge later this month.
I'm so, so grateful for this community. You are all so amazing, and I'm really thankful to have such wonderful, creative people here especially when the world is so scary.
