Placing my fundraising cards on the table

Hi, everybody.

It’s Tuesday, August 29th, and I have two fundraising requests:

  1. We’re still about $200 short in terms of fundraising for the Malik Report’s server fees, which are $269.00 for Bluehost, taxes included. I need to raise that $200 by Friday to keep TMR going.
  2. I’ve posted a GoFundMe for the Traverse City trip, and its cost is a staggering $2,900, but that’s the reality in terms of our fundraising goal for the next three weeks, because taking up my 81-year-old Aunt Annie will cost an extra $900 due to her need for a first-floor, handicapped-accessible room.

It’s a bit fanciful to hope that we can raise that kind of money in three weeks, but we are hopeful that your desire to continue TMR’s coverage at the Red Wings’ prospect tournament and main training camp is still strong.

I never do more than “break even” on the trip, so the goal here is to simply cover expenses for the two weeks that I hope to be in Traverse City.

As always, here are the usual usual fundraising means:

If you’re are willing or able to lend a fundraising assist, you can use PayPal at https://paypal.me/TheMalikReport, Venmo at https://venmo.com/george-malik-2, Giftly by using my email, rtxg@yahoo.com, at https://www.giftly.com. And you can contact me via email if you want to send me a paper check. I’m also on Cash App under “georgeums” (an old nickname).

If you can’t help raise funds, it would be great if we can spread the word regarding the fundraisers, because we’re in tough straits.
