August MRI fundraiser (overage will go to Time Out Youth)
7 years ago
Please read the whole journal for info. If you have any questions please email me at jasperbluecanary [at] gmail.com. Please do not post questions in the comments.
I am presently trying to downsize on things I've collected over the years. On the upside you get a chance at some cool stuff. If any raised funds go past the cost of the MRI/transportation and/or the high end of the goal I will donate them to Time Out Youth (www.timeoutyouth.org). TOY is a local LGBTQIA+ safe space for youth in and near Charlotte, NC.
TLDR about the MRI:
* In September of 2015 I injured my right foot while mascoting.
* I was told it was a stress fracture and I'd be wearing a boot for 8 weeks.
* 8 weeks came and went and doctors were puzzled as to why my foot was not getting better. I spent around $1000 getting no answers and expensive pair of compression socks that did little to help.
* I can no longer run (I call it hobble-running if I need to move faster) and walking or standing for long periods. Sitting or using a wheelchair helps.
* I attempted to look into a MRI last year, but savings were diverted to other things needed.
* In February I re-injured my foot while stepping out of a bathtub. I learned the Lowes electric chairs are slower than me using my manual.
* Speaking to a doctor about it, we both thought it might be best to look into a MRI again.
**Goal update: $425. On August 1st I plan on posting the following for my fundraiser plans:
1. $15: I am selling discounted 5" x 4" sketched badges with flat color in a digital format (these can be printed at your leisure). If you want me to turn it into a Telegram sticker that should be possible. The sketches will feature a head shot and can either be an expression or include a speech bubble. Please keep any requests simple and G-rated. Art will either be done in pencil or pen, photographed, and colored digitally. These will be unlimited until I announce that I am closed.
2. +$15: If you want to donate additionally I will mail you a handwritten thank you with a small sketch.
3. +$30: For anyone who wants to donate beyond the discounted badge a bit more I will be happy to draw and mail a sketch to you, print and laminate a badge, and send you a handwritten thank you.
