HELP STANLEY PARABLE ARTIST MOVE OUT OF DANGEROUS HOME: UPDATE
My name is Madisyn and I've known Azura for over half a decade. I have never see… Madisyn Caraway needs your support for HELP AZURA MOVE OUT
UPDATE:
Hello, I had been hesitant to increase the GFM goal as—after we had reached the 3k goal thanks to all of your help—my plan was personally fund her when needed. However, the circumstances of her home put her in a tighter and tighter position with her savings shrinking. While the home she currently lives in is not in her name, she has become the unofficial "breadwinner" in spite of her delayed and paltry earnings from work. Yesterday, the electricity was cut off due to an outstanding debt. Thankfully Azura was able to put the power back on thanks to her savings and incredibly kindhearted donations. I anticipate problems with the house like this will continue.
On my side, what is left untransferred to Azura from the initial GFM goal is $145. This will be sent to her soon as well.
I've raised the goal to 6K. I'm going to continue monetarily supporting her regardless of how much is raised, though I myself am not wealthy.
There's an adage of how being poor is expensive. Living in a decrepit, termite infested house in a flood zone will kick you in the ass. Having stray animals you care for on the property that can get sick and suffer will kick you in the ass. Having predatory utility companies down your neck will kick you in the ass.
I understand the world is difficult for everyone right now. Every dollar donated, past and future, is appreciated fifty-fold, from both me and Azura.
Stay safe out there. 🩷
(P.S. You can also support Azura through her Ko-Fi. She also does art commissions and will announce when slots are available.)
FUNDRAISER Q&A UNDER READMORE
Q: Where do the GFM funds go?
A: The GFM funds are deposited into an American-based Chime account of which we both have login access to. Using Wise, an international money service, I send weekly payments directly to her bank.
Q: What is the difference between sending donations to GFM and sending money to her Ko-Fi?
A: Ko-Fi sends money to her Paypal account, to which she can transfer that money to her bank, with a more expensive transfer fee compared to me sending her money from Wise. Neither option is technically worse than the other, and you are welcome to use whatever donation portal makes you feel more comfortable. I also use Ko-Fi to donate.
Q: What do the donations go towards?
A: Our goal is to use them for savings for he first apartment, but I want to be transparent in that these funds can also be used to pay for her utilities, medical bills, vet bills, and groceries. I personally do what I can to financially support those expenses, but sometimes her savings must be used—such as paying off outstanding debt to the utility company.
Q: Why are you the creator of the GFM and not Azura?
A: GFM is an Americas and Europe only website. She cannot create a GFM based in Malaysia, and crowdfunding services that work in her area are not as popular as GFM. Personally speaking, GFM asked for my American bank info and Social Security Number for withdrawals, two things Azura does not have. GFM does allow me to run the crowdfunding campaign on her behalf.
