Fundraising worries

I’m trying to lay low on what is usually the last “quiet day” before the news build-up to the NHL season, but I’ve got to be bluntly honest here:

Aunt Annie and I are supposed to leave for Traverse City on September 12th. As such, in terms of fundraising, I need to raise about $500 a day between now and September 11th.

Yesterday, we raised $200, which is great, and that gives us $400 out of the approximately $4,500-5,000 needed to head up to the Red Wings’ prospect tournament and training camp.

But we’re already at a deficit, and I don’t really know how we’re going to make it without the vast majority of TMR’s readers lending a hand.

I understand that it’s a difficult time to raise funds. There are many worthy causes, and while inflation is cooling, we all feel price spikes in our grocery bills, mortgages and so forth.

So all I can do is please ask that you consider making a small donation, a not-so-small donation, that you step up and help me make the increasingly unlikely trip to training camp to represent you.

Put bluntly, I’m scared, I’m frustrated and I’m just worried today. I don’t know how the hell we’re going to make it Up North, and not doing so would really be a crushing blow. I hope you can help me change that.

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.
