Donate $15 to AIDSWalk, get a $22 Book Bundle

This year, once again, I am walking with Team SFGoth for AIDSWalk! In order to help raise funds for AIDSWalk, I am offering am ebook bundle to the first 25 people who donate $15 or more. The book bundle includes Scry of Lust 1, and Scry of Lust 2, two anthologies of erotic fiction by members of San Francisco’s Leather / Kink community, and some folks from afar who contributed as well.

(as you can see, I got m legy out for the ol razzledazzle) Hi, I’m Lapis, a chicanx lesbian based in the Bay Area, and I’m currently trying to raise funds for my organization in the San Francisco AIDS Walk, which is on July 16th 2017. I feel very proud of my organization; their women’s shelter, A Woman’s Place, is the only 24-hour supportive residential program which offers an 18-month Transitional Housing treatment program for HIV+ women, specifically focusing on black trans women in San Francisco. Our program is comprehensive, including behavioral health, harm reduction, self-care, case management and more.

However, this year, the AIDS Walk Foundation has taken longer than usual to put up its team sites, meaning that I’m currently in a bind to scramble towards my personal goals and our team goals with very little time to do campaigning. I’m currently positioned at my organization as a Resource Developer through Americorps VISTA, giving a year of my life in service to help the most marginalized homeless men and women in San Francisco. I am hoping that by reaching out to y’all on tumblr that you can offer a gift in support of my year of service. I am interested in getting involved in the non-profit sector as an ongoing profession, so your contributions not only provide for a worthy cause, but to help me build a steady career for my foreseeable future.

For donations of $25 or more, please donate here at my personal page for the SF AIDSWalk – donations will be counted immediately towards my team’s goal and will be used to support my organization’s HIV CARE program!

For donations of <$25, please donate here at my YouCaring page for the AIDS Walk. Admittedly there are some processing fees that will be deducted, but I am personally willing to cover the difference – that is how badly I want our HIV CARE program’s AIDS Walk to succeed! Also, feel free to DM me with any questions. 

Thank you so much for your support. Please signal boost if you can. Every small bit helps.

Twenty-seven authors and poets have graciously donated their art to the cause.

Share it across social media and in groups on social media. Talk to people about the book. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about it! Fundraising succeeds best when it is a community effort.

You have my deepest thanks for helping however you can.

I've been helping hir edit the fourth book in the series for publication, and enjoying every sentence!
