Posting this again this morning for the daytime and weekend Balloon Juice peeps.
Thanks to everyone who jumped in yesterday!
Balloon Juice went ad-free over 2 years ago, and I hope you guys still appreciate that as much as I do!
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had one of these posts, but it’s time, because we have on-going expenses. Web hosting is monthly, and it’s not cheap. Other expenses are annual (dropbox, design software for the calendar and postcards, Balloon Juice email addresses, Zoom, etc.)
And we like to keep the safety net so Cole doesn’t have to worry about the “what-ifs” of surprise expenses in a no-ads world.
If you donate, I promise that not one penny of what you donate will be used to supply Henry with a never-ending supply of furry friends to snuggle with. Pinky swear!
How can you help? (But only if you can afford it!)
°If you have signed up for a monthly donation but you’re in a different financial position than you were when you signed up, please feel free to cancel your monthly donation, with our thanks for having supported the site.
°If you keep thinking you’ll set up a monthly donation, but haven’t gotten around to it, or if the timing is right for increasing your donation, this would be a great time to do it.
° If you have a monthly donation set up through PayPal, please consider switching that to Patreon. Patreon takes taxes off the top before the funds go into John’s account, so there are no surprises at tax time.
° Make a one-time donation to the Safety Net. It turns out that having the safety net has already been helpful, as John gets clobbered with the tax bill for the the donations that come through PayPal, etc. Before you ask me exactly how much the tax bill was, I do not know the actual amount and Cole hates to talk about money, so I am not going to press him on that.
° If you want to send a one-time check for expenses or for the safety net, send me an email message I will send you Cole’s address. (P.O.box)
You can donate to the safety net with Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, and paper check. And even PayPal if that’s your only option, but please mark it as personal / gift and not payment for services.
Big thanks to everyone who helps keep Balloon Juice going!
If you have any questions, let me know!
