Support Abigail George in becoming a mental health advocate

I am Morten Rand, the editor for Novelty Fiction. I am raising funds to help one of our authors achieve her long-held goal of becoming a mental health advocate. The beneficiary will receive the funds into her South African bank account via WorldRemit, whenever there is enough available to pay for any item(s) in her approved budget.

Background and vision

Abigail George’s life is one of highs and lows, the unavoidable result of a chronic mood disorder. Her focus is on being a productive writer. The back cover of When Bad Mothers Happen, her latest book release (Novelty Fiction 2024), says: “Abigail George, a South African poet and author, resides in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. She was awarded first place in the Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Prize, 2023.”

Abigail is determined to use When Bad Mothers Happen and the prestigious poetry award as a springboard to help others who suffer from depression and abdonment issues. Since early 2025, she has been busy reaching out to mental health specialists and caregivers, and even to some individuals through her extensive social network. People are responding favorably. Apparently, they view this author as being worth listening to, perhaps even a role model.

Budget and justification

As of April 2025, I host Abigail's website and her blog "Mentally Sound," devoted to mental health issues. I also publish and edit "Mentally Sound Magazine," which complements the blog. Through these and other channels, Abigail intends to share her extensive knowledge and experience about mental health.

Abigail needs to collect EUR 2400 in donations, as follows:

-Website, blog and magazine distribution, EUR 500

-A new smartphone, EUR 250

-A printer, EUR 100

-Office supplies, EUR 250

-Two professional campaign videos, 2-5 minutes long, EUR 500

-Printing of a newsletter, pamphlet and booklet series, EUR 200

-Distribution of newsletters, pamphlets and booklets, EUR 200

-Transaction fees and miscellaneous expenses, EUR 400
