WE DID IT!!! We hit the primary goal of 13,500!!!
In 62 days, 13,583 ear savers were printed with 12,800 donations going to 16 states. I could not have done this without your support!!
Unfortunately, as you can see on picture #2, the campaign is in the red by more than $150.00. This means that I am now turning to the public and starting to sell my ear savers. I have created my own file, which has been printed successfully over 1000 times, and will be using this template going forward. I will be selling them for $3 a piece, with discounts at 25+, 100+, 400+, and 1000+ sized orders.
I intend to set aside some of the profits made to keep donating to health care providers during the pandemic, but I can see that the current business model is not self sufficient in it's current state. If you or anyone you know is working and need ear savers, you know where to go! I will be restocking colors as they are requested so as not to have 40 spools sitting in my room. I really appreciated being able to help so many people. I tried to spread as much love and good will as I could. I've lost I don't even want to know how many hours of sleep trying to stay awake getting in 'one more print' but I think it was worth it, especially getting messages from those people I helped. I hope you all stick around for phase 2 of this campaign, now that the seeds are planted across the nation, I cant wait to see what blooms from this. I still want to send aid to all 50 states, once I've broken even again that is, so if you have connections, please send them my way!
Thank you for reading, thank you for joining me on this amazing journey, thank you for sharing and donating. You are incredible, you are amazing, I love you!!!
