Last Day on Earth
(no spoilers)
We have now all sat through the Walking Dead season finale, and likely are feeling like the world is a very, very bleak place. So let’s try and bring a little light and happiness back.
You can continue giving to CarylBYOB for the next 24 hours.Let’s channel our angst into some happiness for some kids who really need someone to listen to them.
Here’s the skinny:
1) The charity we are raising funds for is CHILDHELPÂ They offer solutions to child abuse with advocacy centres, group homes and a national abuse phoneline.
2) You can donate at carylbyob.tumblr.com via Paypal. Or directly to our Paypal account which is [email protected]
3) Don’t forget, if you donate $20 you will be put in a draw to win a drawing or your design by the amazingly talented @passportcolorÂ
4) You can also buy any item from ikkleosu’s Redbubble store for the next 2 weeks and the profits will go to CarylBYOB. Visit it at: http://www.redbubble.com/people/ikkleosu
We would LOVE to break $1000. Please give generously if you can.
Why did SCAN not want fundraising??
Unfortunately we have no idea. They simply requested that they did not want us to fund raise for them at this time. We are respecting their wishes.
VERY IMPORTANT: CHANGE OF CHARITY
I am very sad to report that SCAN have contacted us and requested that we NOT fund raise for them.
We completely respect and will abide by this wish as of now.Â
Therefore we have made the decision to change the charity to receive our funds to :
CHILDHELPÂ Childhelp provide a national child abuse hotline.
Childhelp is one of the largest non-profit child abuse prevention and treatment organizations in the nation. It operates facilities in California, Virginia, Tennessee, and Arizona. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline services all of the United States, its territories and Canada.
HOWEVER, we appreciate that those who have already donated may not wish their funds to be used for a different charity (Although it is still one focused on child abuse in North America). So if you have donated and wish to have your donation refunded please email [email protected] and we will issue you a refund ASAP.
We deeply apologise for this but hope you realise this turn of events is out of our hands.

YES! You can donate, thanks for asking this.
If you click the “DONATE” button on our tumblr page, if you have a Paypal account it will ask you the donation amount in US dollars - however Paypal will automatically convert the amount from your local currency into US dollars.Â

CARYLBYOB 2016 IS HERE!
What is CarylBYOB?
CarylBYOB is a charity drive that began in 2014, as Carylers and Carol Peletier fans who wanted to do something positive to honour both the characters we love, and celebrate the friendships we have made in the fandom.
BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) was inspired by the way most of us fans enjoy the show. We live through the highs and lows of these characters an decided a good way to raise money would be to put our episodic emotional energy into monetary form.
In honour of the Caryl bottle episode “Consumed”, we raised over $2000 for a charity helping the victims of domestic abuse (in honour of Carol’s journey) by donating to the charity however much we would spend on crutches to help us through a particularly nail-biting episode for Carol and Daryl.
So what are we doing in CarylBYOB 2016?
On 13 March, episode 13 “Same Boat” is airing. This episode is going to be another harrowing, edge-of-our-seat hour as we know that at the end of episode 12 Carol and Maggie have been kidnapped by The Saviours. This obviously also affects Daryl, and we also hear episode 13 may very well be an episode of interest for the Caryl dynamic.
Naturally, Caryl and Carol fans are going to be an emotional wreck through this episode. So we want our fellow fans to channel that tension into financial help by donating the amount they would normally spend on items to help them through the episode. Maybe you’d normally buy a vat of wine, a gallon of ice-cream, a pizza topped with another pizza, a giant comforter, or pay for a long-distance phone call to your fellow TWD fan across the country to wail at each other. All we ask is that this week you donate that amount you’d normally spend, to CarylBYOB instead.
What are we donating to?
This year CarylBYOB’s chosen charity is SCAN (Stop Child Abuse Now).Â
Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) of Northern Virginia is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the well-being of children, improve parent-child relations and prevent child abuse and neglect by:
EDUCATING the community about the scope, nature and consequences of child abuse and neglect and the importance of positive, nurturing parenting; PROVIDING direct parent education; & ADVOCATING for children in the community, the legislature and the courts.
We were inspired to support this organisation due to the tragic story of Sam Anderson in the show. Obviously, child abuse is a repeated issue that has been raise in The Walking Dead from Daryl’s own childhood, via Sophia and Ed, and through to Ron and Sam Anderson. We see how in any world, in any family, how child abuse can happen and how long-lasting the effects are. We want to help all victims have a voice.
100% of your donations (beyond Paypal fees) will go straight to SCAN.
HOW DO I DONATE?
Go to carylbyob.tumblr.com and click on the “DONATE” button on the left hand side.
You do not need a Paypal account to pay this way, as it will accept payments with a credit card, debit card or bank account.
You can also donate to our paypal account directly. Our account address is [email protected]
If you’d like you can also donate directly to SCAN and let us know you have donated in CarylBYOB’s name.
If you’d like to discuss payment methods, please send a msg on tumblr, or email us at [email protected]
WHEN DO I DONATE?
You can start right now if you’d like.
We will continue collecting donations through to 3 April - the season finale date - as we suspect these next few episodes will be a wild ride for Carol and Daryl fans.Â
We also hope to have further incentives and ways to support later this week.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
We appreciate not everyone can donate. You can help by reblogging our posts here, retweeting on twitter or posting about the drive on your favourite Walking Dead fan groups, message boards and websites.
Thank you and happy watching!
- CarylBYOB admins.
Stand By Your Stations
Fandom friends, there’s no denying tonight has been a tough night for Caryl fans.
However, this time next week we have CarylBYOB. I realise most people may not be in the mood for ANYTHING associated with the ship or this show fullstop, but can I please implore you to support our cause regardless?
We will be here as planned, and the theme is still the same:
WHATEVER YOU WOULD SPEND TO GET YOU THROUGH THE EPISODE PLEASE DONATE TO CARYLBYOB INSTEAD.
Obviously this year, in these circumstances, what it will take is probably way more than usual to get you to handle the show next week - so in that case (if you can), just donate more.
And if you are angry at the show or creators, just think, you can show your displeasure in a constructive way - what you would spend on TWD merchandise, donate to CarylBYOB instead. You’ll feel good, the kids you help will feel good.
We can do it guys. We can show what a force for good Carylers still are, even when we’ve been metaphorically shot in the leg.
I'd like to promote the Carylbyob fundraiser on the fan forum site I work for- any problems with that? Thanks for all y'all do!
Noen at all! Please promote as much as possible. Thank you! :D
ATTENTION: CHANGE OF DATE
Due to your admin being a total IDIOT the date of the CarylBYOB on the announcement post was wrong.
The correct date for the airing of episode 13 isÂ
March 13 2016
This is the date of the CarylBYOB fundraiser.Â
Many apologies for the confusion - ikkleosu
Announcing CarylBYOB 2016
It is with great excitement we launch CarylBYOB officially today with the declaration that this year’s charity is SCAN.
SCAN are a charity based in Virginia with the mission statement:Â Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) of Northern Virginia is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the well-being of children, improve parent-child relations and prevent child abuse and neglect
We have chosen this charity in order to pay tribute to Sam Anderson, who sadly knew all too well about an abusive home in his short life. Of course, it is also in tribute to Sophia Peletier who too grew up in an unsafe environment.
SCAN offer help by:
EDUCATING the community about the scope, nature and consequences of child abuse and neglect and the importance of positive, nurturing parenting; PROVIDING direct parent education; & ADVOCATING for children in the community, the legislature and the courts.
So, now we have the charity, what do we do?
Well, as with the first CarylBYOB we will be fundraising around a Carol-centric episode.This year that episode will be Episode 13, airing on March 13 2016.
We know this episode is Carol-centric, and we know we’re going to have out hearts in our mouths throughout it.Â
So how CarylBYOB works is you donate the amount you would normally spend on booze, ice-cream, tissues or therapy bills to get you through a traumatic episode of Walking Dead.Â
How do I DONATE?

In the meantime please reblog, tweet and spread the word! Help us give a voice to children like Sam and Sophia.
SIGNAL BOOST CARYLERS AND FEMINISTS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD
Hi! Now Carol Peletier is one of the strongest female characters, and that strength stems from her victory over domestic violence. I was inspired by Carol and in college, I joined the sorority that worked against dv so I could help women like her, women who were so strong but had people who tried to tear them down. My sorority is in a contest to win $2,500.00 for our local dv shelter. Women and their children are living there and they are grossly underfunded. We’re hoping to win the contest so please like this photo!!!! And reblog!!

Hello CarylBYOB lovelies!
*takes dust sheet off blog*
*coughs*
Hello fine supporters, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Happy NEW SEASON DAY!
I come to you with good and bad news.
The good news is a plan for a new CarylBYOB drive is under way. The bad news is it wont’ be in November of this year as originally planned.
Due to real life issues, we sadly won’t be able to run the drive at the time we originally hoped to (ans same time of year as the first drive). We want to make sure the drive gets as much of our time and focus as possible, and that simple couldn't’ be done for November. SO for that we apologise.
However, the GOOD news is CarylBYOB 2.0 will be happening on Sunday 14th Feb 2016 - Yes it will coincide with the Mid-Season Premiere. We had already picked this date, but the fact Chris Hardwick now confirmed it is the MSP date just makes it even better.
And look at that, it’s also Valentine’s Day! What better day to share our love for Carol and Caryl by showing some real life love to victims of domestic abuse.
This is where YOU come in: -
We need YOUR help to make CarylByob 2.0 totally awesome.
1) We need YOu to recommend a charity to be the recipient of the drive. We want to ensure you are all happy with the choice, and word of mouth is often the best way to hear about these organisations.Â
 So, let us know of any charity organisations that YOU think are deserving of our funds. The only stipulation is they MUST focus on helping the victims of domestic violence.
2) We want the drive to be bigger than ever, so we’d really appreciate some help. If you would like to donate some of your time or knowledge, to help behind the scenes, please send a PM.
Also if you simply want to offer suggestions or ideas for ways to raise funds, or ways to bring attention to the drive, we’d LOVE to hear them. Again, hit us up with a PM.
So, lovely Carol and Caryl fans, let’s SHARE THE LOVE and we’ll see you Feb 14th 2016 for a massive CarylBYOB love in!
Jewell Family Moving Fund Update
Thanks to your generosity we - CarylBYOB - now have $367 dollars to pass to littleshelly for her fund to help her find a safe home for her and her kids.
Now, sadly because GoFundMe do not accept Paypal, we are faced with a problem. To get that money to Shelly, we can either:
a) Have one of the CarylBYOB admins withdraw the money to their own account, and then pay it into Shelly’s GoFundMe account so that it is clearly paid through GoFundMe
or
b) Pay straight from CarylBYOB’s Paypal account to Shelly’s. This is the simpler option but means the total will not be added to the GoFundMe page.
We have elected for the latter option, as any of us removing the funds to our personal bank account would be open to all kinds of accusations and look very “dodgy”, even though we would provide screenshots etc.Â
So unfortunately, the total you have given won’t be visible on the GoFundMe page but know that it means SO MUCH. I spoke to Shelly and she has made several calls about new places to live and will be able to pay a lawyer, directly because of all of YOU. Thank you.
I’ve had a couple of PMs asking if there is a deadline for this - the answer is no. If you want to donate to Shelly via Paypal you can do so through CarylBYOB HOWEVER YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR DONATION IS STATED AS BEING FOR LITTLESHELLY OR THE JEWELL FAMILY otherwise it will be added to the CarylBYOB pot.
As I said in posts a couple of days ago, I fully admit this could have been handled better and for that I apologise, but I don’t not want to close down any avenue that can help one of our family get help. And as see it, knowing how much YOU have all helped this family in need has made it all worth it.
