I've had to ask for help from this community from time to time over the years, but today is different. This isn't about helping me pay a bill or buy food.
This is about changing my life.
I start the new year in a pretty good position, though still definitely near the poverty line, but at the moment my rent is paid, my bills are caught up, and I have food in the refrigerator. For us, that's a pretty big thing.
Today I'm starting a countdown to the end of my attempt to raise funds for my serial fiction project.
I'm trying to take charge of my situation and build my own future by launching my writing career in serial fiction. I tried to fund the entire first season of the series but clearly bit off more than I could chew, and I fell short of the goal. This time, I'm simply trying to fund the first two episodes and get the ball rolling.
In fact, if everyone who pledged the first time simply pledges the same amount this time, I'll have no trouble reaching the goal.
I really could use all the help I can get, and I appreciate your support. This isn't about putting a band aid on a situation or plugging a leak, it's about making it so that I don't have to ask for help ever again. It's about helping me become independent with a career that I can do from home. It's about helping me do something about the serious lack of disabled characters in popular culture.
So if you have a moment, please consider making a pledge to my project. I hope that you'll find it worth your time and money, and I thank you again for all that this community has done.
