Fundraising uphill

It’s September 1st, and I’m not certain how exactly Aunt Annie and I are going to make it up to Traverse City to attend the Red Wings’ prospect tournament and main training camp, so that I may provide you with in-person coverage while making sure that my 82-year-old aunt is taken care of.

We’ve raised enough money to pay for all the various web-hosting fees that ensure TMR remains operational, with about $200 left over. That’s where we are now. In theory, we’re supposed to raise $4,500 to $5,000 to pay for the hotel and rental car, and I really don’t know if that’s possible.

I just know that our departure date is Thursday, September 12th, and I know that we’ve done this before.

So I’m hoping that, despite the long odds, you’ll donate, or at least share the fundraiser with those who might be interested in lending a hand.

Every dollar helps pave the road up to Traverse City, and all I can do is ask for your help and cross my fingers. The server was paid for, and I didn’t think that would happen. Let’s try to make the impossible happen again.

If you’re willing to lend a hand, have an official GoFundMe fundraiser page at https://gofund.me/c08de120; 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

And in the banking options, you can contact me via email if you want to send me a paper check, or “Zelle” me via my email, rtxg@yahoo.com. I’m also on Cash App under “georgeums.”

As always, thank you for your readership and your time.
