If you follow me on FB, then you probably already know that I've started an indiegogo campaign to try and get my mother over to Ireland with my brother's ashes.
I know we're all poor merfolk here, but every little bit helps.
My Mom feels guilty all the time that she hasn't gotten over there yet, even though it's only been just over a year.

Please don't think I'm asking for everyone else's money while I save for a tail. I've decided to put off getting a full silicone tail so that I could help my mom get there. Every penny I've earned in tips at the RenFaire so far is in a Jar designated to go to this campaign. So please, if you can't donate, could you please share this link?

Done and done! And a prayer that everything will work out - I know how much this must mean to your family. Hugs and fishes!

So Far I've raised $75/$6000, not including my tips, this will be added once Faire is over. (Something like $38, up to this point.)

I earned $35-ish in tips at the renfaire. Added to what's been pledged on indiegogo, that's $110. Only 12 days left, I don't think I'm going to reach my goal.

There is now $110 on the Indiegogo, and I have (somehow) $60 in my tip jar. $170 total. ^_^
That's a lot better than I thought I would be, at 1 week from my deadline!

Dottie I really wish I could donate, but I am literally spending all my book money on getting cavities filled- I am insanely strapped for cash. If something happens in the future and I end up surplus at the end of a month or something, I'll be very happy to pass along whatever I can. Keep asking, it'll happen eventually! You never know what people will be able to contribute. Good luck. <3

I totally get it. I have wisdom teeth that have to come out because they're impacted.
Do what you gotta do for you. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't help anyone else.
Thank you for caring, though.
You've got a big ♥.
