Alrighty. So you
want to donate. You have no idea how much that means to me! Basically, my website
costs are minimal, but for every 10 dollars donated, I can keep the website
domain open for a full year. So this means that if you donate $5.00 USD, you
practically bought me half a year of aFitS! However, the money goes towards
more than just the website! Here's a few things that the money actually goes
toward:
- Rent
- Our rent is relatively inexpensive, but every little bit helps. Basically
you keep my ass from getting kicked to the curb when you make a donation!
How thoughtful of you!
- Groceries
- Bitches gotta eat, you know? Donations are great for grabbing groceries
so I can whip up some delicious food on the fly. Did you know that I absolutely
LOVE cooking? Seriously I'm fucking nuts about cooking.
- Eventual
relocation - Recently we were informed that the building we live in is
being foreclosed. A shame? Yes. Where I live doesn't offer much in the way
of jobs or housing, so if the building is removed from our landlords ownership,
we're screwed six ways from sunday. We plan on making an eventual relocation
an hour north to a city where there are jobs and lots of places to live. However,
the rent is a bit more expensive, and the cost of moving won't be easy. If
I get enough donations, it would make a great contribution to scooting up
north where we could have job security!
- Medication
- Did you know that I'm one of the 40-some million American's who don't have
health insurance?! Well, its not a big deal to be honest, but I do have an
annoying case of allergy-triggered asthma and am prone to getting nasty chest
colds that could turn into Bronchitis if left unchecked. Donations are great
for buying the OTC medications (Primatine Mist, Advil Cold & Sinus, Benadryl)
that prevent me from actually having to go to the doctor and shelling out
real money. You too can keep me in a drug induced haze!
- Internet
Expenses - A crutial element to web design, apparently you have to pay
for internet these days.
- Dogs
- I have two beautiful dogs: A male boxer/lab mix named Aggro and a female
rat terrier/border collie mix named Isabel. They're both about three years
old, and require food. Its funny how that works. Also, they enjoy toys, treats,
and occasionally the routine rabies shot or two. If you're a dog lover, you'll
be happy to know a portion of donations will go to keeping my dogs happy and
healthy.
- Gas -
Eugh did you know that cars take gas to run? And that the area I live in has
no public transportation. I'm sure a decent portion of donations will actually
keep Dennis (our car) filled with gasoline. Which apparently is like food
to him.
- Booze
- Just kidding. I'm not irrisponsible enough to spend donated money on booze.
Unless you send me a note telling me that you want me to. I'll totally do
it then.
- Entertainment
- Well, sadly I don't get out enough to say that this is used on something.
But if I ever do get out enough, I'd like to say that it'd be used on video
games and going out to eat with my friends if I have any money left over after
I put it toward other crap.
...And more! Probably!
I don't know! I've completely forgotten what it's like to actually have money
and what normal people spend it on.
*PS: You do remember
that my real name IS Amber Neely right? You're still donating to aFitS and myself,
the paypal account is just old.
