Tig Needs a Hero
Donation protected
Hey guys!
Most of you know me already, but in case you don't, my name is Tig. I'm a consultant and entertainer.
My job takes many forms but through it all, my fans and clients have stayed at the center of my business. I love making new connections with people. I love being able to reach into someone's life and provide joy, insight and respect in areas of our lives where that's not common.
"You are truly unique and bring a refreshing perspective as a business woman ! Plz keep it up you are doing a wonderful job and truly an inspiration !" -C.P., client
I made a BIG move lately, in the interest of both my family and my business. I sold all my things out of my 4 bedroom house and bought a travel trailer. It acts as both studio and home; it's allowed me to lower my overhead so that I can invest even more of my time and money on my clients.
This whole endeavor has been quite the adventure and very freeing, overall... however some pretty nasty things have happened and I'm feeling dejected, demoralized and scared.
"You have been a brilliant treasure and I can't wait for more of your work" -W.C., Fan
Our family car was having some issues and after the long drive to our new home, things seemed to get worse. We took it into the shop and were told that the head gasket is blown (plus several other fun things) and they basically have to rebuild the engine.
When we bought our home, we moved it to a place that's green and rural and just... well, lovely. But without a car, we are in some serious trouble. It's 5 miles to the closest bus stop, the temperatures are dropping and we still have some repairs to do to our home.
"You honestly sounds like such an incredible person."-C.L., Client
Not having a car is a pretty big problem. (We ended up taking out a <$2000 loan to cover the repair costs.) And we just can't afford to rent one right now.
Then, last night around 2am, I was answering some fan/client emails. I got up to go potty and when I came back I accidently stepped on my closed laptop. It split the screen into a factured spiderweb of doom.
I just... I tried to keep up such a tough face through all of the crap we've been through but I'm so... freaked out. scared. worried. lost. It's incredibly overwhelming.
"You know, you really are a breath of fresh air and very genuine."-T.G., Kik Fan
That's why I'm here. I need help.
I was taught that asking for help is wrong. It means you can't do it on your own. You're not strong enough. Not good enough.
"I'm just so proud of you. :) have an awesome night. "-B.R., Fan Club Member
This is hard.
But I know my heart. I pour *so* much of myself into my fans. I know how I make them feel and what I do for the wonderful folks in my orbit. I give so much value and so much of my own Self.
"She continues to amaze..." -R.T., Twitter Fan
I'm turning around now and I'm asking you for help. I know it seems like people in my profession make a butt-ton of money but that simply isn't the case. I make enough each month to support my family but not to deal with the huge hardships of losing my transport and my work station.
Any amount of monetary contribution will help. If all my thousands of fans were to pitch in $1, we would meet this goal in mere minutes! I just really need you. Please.
