Many of you will remember that I typically participate in Giftmas each year, a writers’ fundraising event for a food bank. This year, we’re doing something a little different! A bunch of writers and creators are working toward various goals, and we’re asking for your pledges to support Doctors Without Borders, a medical charity doing critical work with refugees around the world.
My dual goals are to write and to make travelogue videos for you while I hike. Others are doing different goals. You can pledge to support one or several of us!
Update: I wrote over 30,000 new words, for a 3x goal-smash! And the videos are coming. Please pledge accordingly. Thanks!
You can support in three ways:
- Make a base pledge directly to the fundraising campaign. This is fast and easy (and there’s nothing to remember to do later!).
- Make a lump sum pledge if a creator achieves their goals (“I will donate $50 if Sally Writesalot completes her goal of a poem a day in November”).
- Make a scaled pledge based on a creator’s output (“I will donate $10 for every travelogue video Laura shares” or “I will donate $5 for every thousand words Sally completes”).
Pick whatever sounds fun to you; we appreciate all donations to the cause! You can support one creator or several. On December 1, creators will report their progress, and you’ll have until December 10 to honor any remaining pledges. We may also have some fun bonuses for supporters along the way, so please join us!
