Crowdfunder - Tumblr Posts
Hello ineffable fandom!! 💜
I can't believe that you've managed to get the crowdfunder up to almost £9000 already! My family and I are absolutely blown away by your kindness and generosity, especially at a time that's not been easy for any of us. It just goes to show that this is the heart of what this fandom is, love, and nobody can take that away from us.
ANYWAY
This is my 11 year old nonbinary kiddo, Finley:
They have pledged that for every £1000 mark crossed from now on, they will draw a Good Omens picture for you all to enjoy (they say they aren't the best artist as they have dyspraxia - mummy totally disagrees - but they'll try their best!).
So please keep donating, and whether or not you have or have simply reblogged, choose what you'd like Finley to draw for when we cross that £9000 mark - cast your votes below!
We hope that in some small way we can make you smile and thank you for the unspeakably, unbearably kind generosity you have shown to our little family in our time of need.
To my beloved fandom;
A lot of you know me as PhoenixRose314, Tumblr's fandom mom and ineffable author of Don't Fall Away From Me and There Is A Light & It Never Goes Out. This fandom has been such a source of joy for me and has kept me going through some really difficult and dark times, but right now my world is absolutely falling apart.
Through circumstances beyond my control (health reasons - cancer and anxiety and depression), I was let go from my job a few months ago and my children and I can no longer afford to rent our lovely home in our lovely village. This has been incredibly hard for me to accept but once my lease is up I will have run out of savings and my kids and I will no longer have a place to call our own.
I am famously awful at asking for help, however this amazing fandom has convinced me to start this crowdfunder to try and raise enough money to try and buy a small park home or caravan for myself and the kids. It won't be much, but it will be ours, and nobody can take it away from us. I'm currently in the process of selling all my collectibles, furniture and worldly goods to try and raise some of the money myself, but anything you could donate to give my family some stability would be appreciated from the very bottom of my heart.
You can read more about my story and donate here:
I hate that it has come to this, I feel so much shame and guilt for being in this position, but I better than anyone know that circumstances can change on a dime, and I hope that all the good and kindness (and fanfiction!!) I've put out into the world might come back to me now.
Please share if you can, donate if you can, and thank you for reading.
Phoenix 🌹
WAHOO FOR FINLEY!!
Good morning ineffable fandom 💜
Yesterday I was lucky enough to go and see Hozier in Finsbury Park. My friend had bought me the tickets for Christmas, and refused to let me sell them and insisted I go and try to have to a good time. Anyway. When I was listening to I, Carrion, I sort of lost it a bit. Because between that song and GO S2, Don't Fall Away From Me was born. And it made me think about how lucky I am to have all of you, how a year ago I couldn't have imagined belonging anywhere, much less somewhere so full of kindness and compassion and love.
My crowdfunder to help buy a caravan to keep my kids and I off the streets surpassed the £9000 mark yesterday! At the time of posting on 8th July, the current total is £9,721.
I am so blown away by the generosity and kindness of all of you. Not just donations, but people who help in other ways; by reblogging, by sharing on Twitter where I don't have much reach, and those who have decided to read my fanfics and leave comments... it's brought so much comfort to me at a time when everything feels so hopeless.
As promised, because we went past the £9000 mark, Finley has drawn you this lovely picture of our ineffable duo!!
Do you think we can push up to £10,000 over the next few days? If you can, what would you like Finley to draw for you next?
