Thank you so much for visiting! Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo do not allow for charitable projects so I am reaching out here. These projects are happening either way, but self-funding is slow going or not something I can do on my own in a timely manner. I work full-time freelance from home so most of what I do is in-house.
You can read more about each project below and there's a contact form if you have any questions. You can choose to support one or all of the projects listed through the button below, including buy now-pay later options.
Every little bit brings these projects to life, and we are grateful for the support. You can find any updates on the projects here on this page and have the option of signing up for my infrequent newsletter through the link in the navigation.

Paid Zine Writers
Kraft Paper Muse has nine staff writers. All independent contractors. We have issues planned out through 2028 but are in a holding pattern currently for funding. Six bi-monthly issues per year, it costs $500 to pay our writers each issue at $50 per column; one writes two. We hope to be able to pay them $100 per issue for their time and creativity.

Our printer, Mixam, now offers print-on-demand, so we are no longer limited to 100 printed copies. All of our "stuffed" packets will be offered through my Ko-fi shop for each issue and includes a bookmark, sticker, zine, surface pattern sheet, blank greeting card, 4x6 print, and other goodies themed for each issue.
Dolls for Comfort
It started with a Moon Rabbit named Clementine. The book, Clementine's Garden, will debut Spring 2027, but she is already making her presence known. She goes with Renmeleon to every event. Piggy from This Little Piggy, Billy from Billy the Bear, and a few other dolls are in the works and will be made available via my Spoonflower shop online. The goal is to purchase yardage and make them to giveaway. I have a seamstress lined up so you would also be supporting another family in need.
All of the fabric and dolls that I design go through Spoonflower which is based in North Carolina.

Playing Cards for Children
Growing up playing cards with my mother and grandparents after dinner every night had a lasting impact on me. I have personally spent way too much time in hospitals in my lifetime and cards were sanity. Playing cards are also a thing for autistic children so being able to donate decks to children's hospitals, families, and other charitable organizations is the goal.
I have several decks already completed and will be going through our new contact with US Playing Cards right here in Erlanger, KY.
