Surprise Live-Stream TODAY @ 2:30 PM
Added 2020-12-11 14:09:55 +0000 UTCFriends:
Many of you probably know Anne Briggs, who makes content under the name Anne of All Trades. Anne recently moved from Seattle to Nashville, bought land, and pretty much risked everything to build a craft school in her back yard.
Then COVID happened. Now, her building is half-done. The contractors can't be found. Materials costs have skyrocketed. The money is gone.
Anne is in a real bind and it's all because she tried to start a school and share her knowledge. She recently made a video about the whole ordeal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg631TW__qg
Well, James Wright started a gofundme and asked the community to chip in and give Anne a lift. If she can just get a roof on the building, then the work and materials won't be ruined by the elements and she can pick back up in the future. But the time is now. If she can't make progress on the building soon, it's going to rot in the winter weather.
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going live today at 2:30 PM EST. It's going to be a special all-fundraiser episode. I'll answer questions, show tools and projects and basically do whatever the audience wants to see. During this stream, every superchat I get will go directly to Anne and I'm doing a dollar-for-dollar match with my own money. So whatever I get in the live-stream will be DOUBLED.
So come on by! Join the fun, drop a dollar in the hat and let's help out one of our own.
You can also donate directly at http://gf.me/u/za4g5h
Hope to see you today!

Thank you! Every little bit.

2020-12-15 12:44:59 +0000 UTCMissed the Livestream but donated some more $ at the GFM. Ann is doing good content, and seeing how other creators like Rex and James Wright rose to help her out speaks volumes about your character and how supportive this community is as a whole. Very appreciative of this little corner of the internet that has helped me get through a very trying year.

2020-12-12 00:21:36 +0000 UTCI've never watched any of her videos, but if you and James say she's deserving, that's good enough for me. Went to GFM and pitched in.
