I’m already incredibly humbled to say that a couple of you donated enough that TMR is sound and bound for another year of ups and downs, ins and outs, and battling along as I navigate the dual jobs of trying to be a semi-professional blogger and trying to be a semi-professional caregiver for an 81-year-old aunt.
We made it, a day early. It’s a huge relief. I can pay my internet bill, too.
And while I was still gloomily bumming myself out about Traverse City, an incredibly kind, anonymous donor decided to give me a chance to make the TC prospect tournament/training camp GoFundMe a realistic proposition, donating a remarkable $2,000 to the cause of a $2,925 hotel bill and a good $500+ in expenses.
That’s…I’d gone through all the symptoms of grief, coming to accept that I just wasn’t going to be able to make it up this season, and someone decided to take a chance on me and take a chance in a gigantic way.
So this middle-aged blogger and his elderly aunt aren’t quite done trying to get their tails up to the Cherry Capital just yet.
It’s…It’s been an emotional day, and it’s apparently not quite over just yet. Instead, the blog continues, as does the goal of giving you coverage on-site this September.
I’ve gone from the depths of gloom to disbelief and joy, to realizing that I’ve been given a generous gift on top of generous gifts today that I really need to make sure are followed through with good coverage in mid-September.
So that’s where we are. In the middle of the scrap again.
Let’s go.
If you can lend a hand with the hotel expenses, we have an old-fashioned GoFundMe here https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-george-annie-attend-prospect-tournament, 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.”
As always, thank you for your time and your readership.
