A Personal Appeal

Those who have followed me for a few years know that in 2018 Beth and I started a charity with a work colleague to support a school in Kovie, Togo. Beth and I funded the construction and outfitting of a 3 room school building and a computer lab. With the help of a very small list of friends we've also built a basketball court and a security wall in addition to paying the tuition and providing books and school supplies for 800 elementary students. We only have ~60 donors but we make a big impact.

Every year I write a letter summarizing our progress and appealing for donations. I hand address the envelopes and include a personal note in each letter. I think this approach is much more meaningful than sending an email.

I know this is hard to believe, but our school doesn't have toilets or facilities for hand washing. Can you imagine 800 students without bathroom facilities!? So in addition to our normal budget, this year we're kicking off a capital campaign to construct toilets with running water. We think it will cost ~ $25,000. Beth and I will match all donations.

This is the school's annual budget.

Would YOU like a letter with a handwritten note from me, ExitRowIron next year? Well all it takes is a donation of any size at EFFAC.org or send a check to the address below. Be sure to ask for a matching donation if offered by your company.

The only sort of fantasy I’m into is the one with me and Aubrey Plaza making out, but you know what? This was a fun movie.

more y12k designs! this is the trio's alternate universe designs that will be featured in the third book. the alt timeline is very different, and thus the characters are also different. (the names in order of appearance are Vyx, Kovie and Axen).

in the alt timeline, Axen is the main character. he's the leader of a vigilante group/guerilla unit, a prodigal fighter and skilled rogue. his life focuses almost entirely on his missions.

Vyx is a world class hacker, a better runner than a rogue or fighter. they create viruses and hidden monitoring programs to aid infiltration teams.

here's the main characters for my webcomic, y12k! in the first image from left to right we have Vyx, Kovie, and Axen. the next images are Kovie, Vyx, and Axen.

Kovie is the main alien babey, tol soft one who's secretly super smart and wise. you wouldn't know it seeing how ditzy she is on a daily basis.

Vyx is the community Best Friend™, supportive and enthusiastic martian-human traveler with a popular vlog channel and a lot of hobbies.
