Hello friends.

Many of you have asked how you can help me out since my recent experience of losing my entire life savings to a fraud scam.

If you don’t know the story, you can get the gist from my March 7 reading at Fishtrap Fireside. Watch the video here or read the story here.

 

Ok, here’s the deal.  If you know me, you know that I struggle with accepting help from anyone. But after a year of wading through the trama, shame, guilt, and grief, I have decided to provide a portal for those of you who want to lend a buck or two to help me pay my tax bill. Also, for those of you who know me, know what a big step this is.

So, instead of using one of the many fundraising platforms out there on the internet, I figured it makes more sense if you’re gonna give me a gift of money that it is as direct as possible, thus the widget at right (or below)–any amount helps.

Or if you prefer, drop some $$ in my Venmo account: @Janis-Carper.

Also feel free to buy some music from me here on this site, or on Bandcamp for my latest releases. (Every now and then they have Bandcamp Friday on the first Friday of the month, where the artist gets 100% of sales.)

Here’s my YouTube channel if you want to see some cheezy music videos I made, and I don’t make any money from it, but you can listen to most of my published music on Spotify too.

I’ll also be adding more original artwork to my Second Chance Productions website soon, and maybe you’ll find something there to hang on your walls.

There’s always (for now, anyway) good old U.S. Postal:
