Any success stories and how much did you raise in how long?

Great question @Jeff Covey Maybe some of our other members can help. I see that @Brian Parker raised some funds - Brian do you have anything you could share with Jeff to speak to his topic? Any words of wisdom or things you learned along the way?

@Mark L I see you’re still fundraising, but could you share how you got your first 28 donations with @April Ingram and Jeff here? 

You’ve done a great job so far @Mark L. Have you ever gotten together with a couple of close friends to discuss a sharing strategy? Getting people in person is a good way to enlist your friends as team members so they can help push your page out further.

I also recommend checking out Instagram as an option for getting your story in front of a lot of people. Instagram uses Reels, which is their version of TikTok. Because Instagram is competing for marketshare, they’re promoting videos broadly in order to attract creators. For example, I made a Reel for an Instagram account I run and it garnered over 8 thousand views. The video only took me about 20 minutes to make! 

One tip I recommend is to reuse that video other places. For example, you can take your Reel and share it via text message, email, or other social media platforms.
