Dear Reader,
Thank you for subscribing to this free monthly newsletter, where I send out an original short story every month. Thank you for your incredible response to “Beneath the Weight,” a short story about a child with SMA.
One of my readers reached out to let me know she supports funding to heal kids with SMA by creating and selling art. Please check out her beautiful pieces below.
Pluto's artwork is made from salvaged and recycled materials, and 85% of proceeds go toward helping children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). 5.5% goes to emergency aid. 9.5% covers Etsy fees. For details, including a partnership with the nonprofit Varvara, please visit Pluto's website. Purchase art at Pluto’s shop on Etsy.
Proceeds go to support Varvara:
The artist, Janessa Mulepati, is also an extremely gifted writer. She has several books on the way to being published. Check out her author website here.
Janessa and I agreed on the importance of donating to causes we care about. Check out this Charity Navigator to find causes you care about, and verify how much the charities devote to overhead vs. programs.
And now…. Free Stuff!!!
Best,
S. C. Durbois
