Discount for Donations Opportunity!

As you may know, it’s been a difficult and stressful time in Minnesota lately, largely due to the federal armed occupation carrying out abductions, mass surveillance, etc. Many people are unable to work or have had their incomes seriously affected by this. So, there are a lot of people needing help right now. If you donate, then I can discount a session or videos!

If you donate to a local organization or gofundme for helping people affected by ICE, I’ll match it plus 25% as a discount on a next session. So if you donate $20, I’ll take $25 off a session. If you donate $100, I’ll take off $125. I’ll do this up to $150 PER HOUR off a session. So if you donate $120, I can deduct $150 off a one hour session. If you donate $240 and book a two hour session, I can deduct $300 from the total. I’ll hold this offer through February, for any session scheduled in February or March. If you need to schedule further out than March, let’s talk. This offer is good for ALREADY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS AS WELL.

Can’t do a session? You can participate virtually, from afar! I can do the same discount structure (matching the price of donation plus 25%) for videos. Show me you donated $100, and pick out $125 worth of videos and I’ll send them to you. There’s a slight chance I may not have the files of some of my older videos, so be sure to check with me, but most likely it won’t be a problem. You can pick videos from my C4S, ManyVids, IWantClips, or either scatbook.

Where can you donate? There are so many people in need right now, and what I’m sharing here is surely not everything and every need that’s out there. The most important thing is to pick something and donate. Some gofundmes:
