I may not like fundraising for this blog, but the December drive is two days old and struggling pretty bloody badly, so I’m going to say something I don’t usually do:
I’d like to believe that this blog is worth your time and your support, even when I’m not saving up for a hockey trip. I know that I provide a solid service for your clicks and your readership, including up-to-date updates, game coverage and prospect coverage.
There’s more coming, as they say, but it’s hard to work in a market where the Wings (as of yet) don’t credential bloggers, so I have to get creative as I balance this job with taking care of my 79-year-old aunt and deal with my chronic depression and anxiety…
But I’m working damn hard to balance those responsibilities and battle those illnesses as best as I can, and while I’m in a rough patch health-wise right now, I’m working my ass off to give you as much as I possibly can every day.
Right now, I’m in a rough spot financially as I’m trying to help my aunt pay off her property taxes and I’m trying to raise funds to purchase a new cell phone as my ancient phone is going to get turned off by T-Mobile in a month or two.
And I know that I’m asking you for help during a time when inflation sucks for everyone, when Christmas is near, and when there are a bunch of other non-profits vying for your donations.
But right now I’m asking you to help TMR survive, to deal with the kinds of things that for-profit businesses usually get taken care of through advertising (which I don’t subject you to) or sponsorships (which I don’t have as of yet).
If you’re willing to help, even with a couple of bucks, I’d be very grateful for your assistance. And I promise not to write such a long post next time.
