10 Tarot Card Reading - All money goes to help a cat go to the vet


Above is the picture of Baby Monster
Save My Baby Monster This is an Indie Gogo fundraiser to help a woman let her cat be treated by the vets. She doesn't have enough money but this women is a good women who takes care of her cats and when she realized her cat was sick and couldn't afford it she went to IndieGogo to help raise money for her cat. I can't keep saying cat, my family has three cats, and I always call them things like "prince" and "princess" and "my little baby cat". Cats are family to me, they have emotions and opinions and can get moody and happy just like any human and just like any human they can get sick, and when they get sick, it's expensive.
10 Tarot Card Reading ebay fundraiser

She has rescued cats from Booklyn, NYC and gives them a home in Pennsylvania. She's a proud TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) for 10 years now, for those who don't know this is incredibly important work. It helps feral cats to not keep reproducing, this helps to reduce the population of wild cats, which means greater chances of those cats getting homes. She has been doing extensive research on finding out the exact vet bill and it's looking like $500, she only has $31 so far so hopefully my fundaraiser can help her get closer to her goal. I have an auction on e-bay or you can pick a reading from my blog and let me know if you want the proceeds to go to this cat. In a few days I'll put up another fundraiser for a dog who needs surgery. I figure it might be an overload on readings and I want to give the people with the winning bid deserve to have clear readings. Also on ebay the fundraiser is for 10 tarot card readings. The readings will be done within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and if you have any spare money to help this poor cat.

Campaigns

I went on IndieGogo and there are always people and causes to donate to. I currently put a tarot card reading auction hopefully to raise some money for a kid who needs skull surgery, his father is in the US air force and his mother is recovering from cancer, while they've met their goal I always feel it's still important to support those who protect us (like people in the military, police officers, etc.) I'm sure there will be unexpected costs so I wanted to alter you guys of that.

Also two other wonderful causes, especially for those who love animals as much as I do, these guys have no where near their goal. I'm hoping to promote them because I believe animals get neglected and ignored so often.

This is so a woman can take her cat to the vet and pay the cat's vet bills. Which I think are important because who really have pet insurance, people insurance so so expensive as it is. This is a woman who takes care of cats and she helps rescue them and give them homes, but one has recently gotten sick. So I think we should support her and help.

This one http://www.indiegogo.com/Help-Sasha-run-again
This is for a dog who is deaf who came into a rescue home but has a damaged knee and they're hoping to raise money to allow this poor puppy to run again. I really hope they meet their goal, it's a lot more than the vet bill but juts like them I have faith that people will help.

Other than to let people know about these I also wanted to let people know if they ask for a reading from me they can choose one of these causes and I'll donate all that money or if there's another charity you wish me to donate the reading cost to I will do that as well. I'd like to say that none of these causes have contacted me and I don't want people to think they all believe in what I believe simply out of respect. I don't want people to assume that because I'm bringing awareness about them they believe in what I do or anything like that in any way. I am in college and have limited funds, this is simply my way of hoping to help these charities.

I hope people spread the word.

Little Sun and her Beautiful Drawings for a Beautiful Cause


Little Sun (or Renée) had asked me to give her a reading not too long ago. She was interested in my work and after explaining who I am and what I do, I wanted to know about her. I noticed she had this Etsy shop with beautiful, clearly hand crafted art. I was touched by her idea of a prison reformation. Which I agree with, I feel the answer is not to throw people in prison, but to help them, help rehabilitate them. I don't believe that people are bad by nature, they end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, lack of knowledge, lack of understanding, lack of resources is what causes people to end up in prison. All of her profits go to helping prisoners, which really is an ignored cause. There is so much stigma against prisoners, people think they're all these monsters but most of the people in prison are in there for non-violent reasons and have gone through hard ships and have had no one and no support. So I think it's very important that we remember how important it is to support all sorts of people. There are innocent people fighting for their lives on death row, it just goes to show how not everyone who is sent to jail is always guilty. If we ignore these people and don't give them support, if we keep shunning these people and label them all as "criminals" then we give them an excuse not to change. We encourage this behavior because we place a stigma on them and say go away.
So I think it's beautiful that Little Sun (or Renée) has decided to put so much dedication towards such a stigmatized group and hopefully her message of peace and unity and caring will spread.

The below was written by Little Sun (or Renée) herself.:

My cardshop http://littlesun.etsy.com  the Little Sun has appeared in my drawings for about 17 years After my sister died I felt desperate to do something with my gift.
My other sister suggested etsy because it's a "handmade" site
My cards are totally done by me.
Starts with paper and pencil, gets scanned in edited and brightened named
then I use Microsoft publisher to make the actually card. My simple little
drawings have been sold in 5 countries LittleSun Himself was featured on CBS Sunday Morning.
You'd think I'd have a thriving business but no such luck Hallmark etc horrible competition
What makes mine a bit different is you can actually get a custom card. Main theme
the crazier the more fun. A lady once wrote "can you make a card for my mother-in-law she gardens and loves Elvis", voila turned out precious.
Now because of my love of magic the theme is witches, Wicca, pagan greetings
I've done pet portraits  I have my own style and voice and like most artists I like
My own work. It's me.
 
My cheery little cards have been sent to prisoners around the country My extreme
mission is prison reform which has turned into helping individuals.
Prison does not allow a person to send things its all a racket the prisons except  money to prisoners magazines and books have to be sent thru the publisher. March I will be buying a pair of shoes for a  young man--they must be bought through the prison. Any and all proceeds end up going to prisoners.
Sometimes I'll use prisoner art for a card as well. It's their proud way of reciprocating.
I also sell on ebay. http://myworld.ebay.com/littlesunii
