Crochet for Kathy Fundraiser Info [CLOSED]

Background:

On March 1, 2019, my parents’ house caught fire.  The electrical fire started upstairs in their bedroom, where my mom was sleeping.  She said she woke up to a loud popping sound and saw fire everywhere.  Forgetting her glasses, she grabbed a blanket and the dog and ran.  In the process of escaping the house, she suffered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns on her face, arms, and upper back.  Anyone who has seen the house agrees that she is lucky to be alive, and I, for one, am so thankful to still have my mother around.  My dad and brother were also in the house and made it out safely thanks to my mom’s cries to get out.  Their senior cat, Jerry, has not yet been found.  The house is unlivable.  But everyone is alive and safe (sorry Jerry kitty, I’ll miss you), and ultimately that is what matters.

Fast forward 2.5 weeks, and my mom is still recovering in the hospital. If you follow me on social media, you know it’s been mostly good news and a solid recovery with just a few bumps in the road.  She’s had some grafts on her left hand, arm, shoulder and back.  They took donor skin from her left thigh, and everything seems to be progressing in the right direction so far.

Fundraiser Info!

In an effort to help raise money for Kathy’s medical bills, BD Crochet Co is hosting a Crochet for Kathy Fundraiser!  There are 5 prizes, listed in the Crochet for Kathy collection on the site.  Each entry is $5 toward one of the prizes.  If you buy 4 entries, you will receive a 5th one for free!  This discount will be automatically applied in the checkout process. All proceeds of this fundraiser will go to Kathy. 

Rules and stuff:

I’ve never hosted a mass online fundraiser like this before, so I’m not sure what legalese I should be posting here, but let’s roll with it.  

1. You can purchase as many entries for as many prizes as you like.  Ultimately, this is a fundraiser!!  
2. On the back end, I will write your name on a physical ticket and put it in one of 5 containers marked by prize.  For example, If you buy 5 entries for the mandala blanket, you will have 5 tickets in the “jar.”  If you buy one entry for the bunny duo, you get 1 ticket in that “jar.” And so on....
3. At the end of the fundraiser, I (or maybe Kathy!!) will draw one winner from each bucket.  I’ll contact the winner by email to confirm shipping info. Prizes will be shipped via USPS within 5 business days of the close of the fundraiser. 
4. This fundraiser is not sponsored by Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media site that this may end up on.  
5. All of the prizes have been handmade here at BD Crochet Co.  Detailed information about each piece can be found in the listing description.
6. Entries are non-refundable.
7. Fundraiser will close on April 23, 2019 because I think it would be awesome to end this on Kathy’s birthday. And to be honest, I need some time to finish up those last two blankets.
