Donations and other support
I do get requests for donations a lot. Unfortunately, the hard costs of the feathery props I build are usually just too great for me to cover. However, I do donate my time and materials support initiatives when possible. This page is used to promote any current and record past giving efforts.

- Donated $2,000 from the raffle of two sets of fans benefiting Voices of Children, an organization that provides no-cost psychological support to Ukrainian children who are impacted by armed conflicts like this one. Their services include art therapy, traveling psychologists who specialize in trauma, and assistance programs for individual families. Learn more on the Voices of Children website.
- In support of one of my dear fan clients, donated $100 gift certificate for the Sweet Relief — a Burlesque Benefit Show — raffle benefiting Candy Muldune in April, 2022.
- Following hurricane Ida hitting New Orleans in September 2021, I raffled off several cases and donated proceeds from a fan sample sale. I was able to provide 3 gifts of $250 each ($750 total) to individual performers identified by the mutual care network. Thanks to everyone for jumping on the raffle donation or purchase!
