I’ve been told that it’s a balmy 71 degrees and sunny on this Saturday afternoon in August. I woudln’t really know, honestly, because I’m busy taking care of Aunt Annie and I’m busy manning the blog, and there really are no days off any more in a 24/7/365.25-day news cycle.
I kind of enjoy it, though I’ll readily admit that I’ve been napping for most of my day after playing the Sims 4 a little too late last night.
You’ll have to pardon me for interrupting your sunny Saturday to ask for help raising funds to pay this year’s $850 server bill and to raise the $5,000 or so necessary to bring Aunt Annie and me up to Traverse City to cover the Red Wings’ truncated prospect tournament and main training camp.
Those are still the goals of this fundraising drive. Our vehicle is still busted, so we need to rent a car, and, as the primary caregiver of an 82-year-old who is still recovering from a double hip replacement, there’s no way that Aunt Annie stays home while I go up to Traverse City. That makes the trip “Up North” expensive, but we made it happen last year, and I believe that we can do it again–in order for me to provide you with in-person training camp coverage.
At this point, the fundraiser is not going great, but all I’m gonna do is keep the faith and hope that we’ll buck the unpleasant present’s trend and get the improbable done.
Again, we have many options by which you can help us make this website’s future certain, as well as donate to the Traverse City endeavor:
We have an official GoFundMe fundraiser page; we have a PayPal option at https://paypal.me/TheMalikReport; there’s Venmo at https://venmo.com/george-malik-2; if you’re into the, “I don’t want to use any of those pages” option, here’s always the Giftly option by using my email, rtxg@yahoo.com, at https://www.giftly.com…
You can contact me via email if you want to send me a paper check, or “Zelle” me via my email, rtxg@yahoo.com. And I’m also on Cash App under “georgeums.”
Regardless of whether you’re able to support the blog, I thank you for your time and readership.
