To be added to next month’s list please respond to this survey<\/a> by March 5, 2017, midnight, EST.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

I recently posted on Google+<\/a> asking that game-related creators in hardship respond to my post with their various product sales pages or portfolios. I got quite a few responses, which is both great (lots of people to share about!) and bad (lots of hardship!).<\/p>\n

I didn’t ask people why they needed help, but did say if they wanted to include information they could provide it. Please don’t judge people for not providing reasoning, or assume there is none. Some of us keep our hurts private. There is no particular order except those who responded first.<\/p>\n

If you like the work of any of the people who I’ve shared information about below, and you have some money to spare, please take some time to support them! <\/b><\/p>\n

I will note: this is extremely<\/i> guy heavy. If you are frustrated I did not include enough women and NB people in hardship, please keep in mind that I am not scouring the internet for these things. I need<\/i> people to self identify their work and their needs for everything I do on this blog. I try to keep an eye out, but there is only so much I can do. I may be doing this on a more regular basis, so please look out for the next post. Also feel free to reshare this with your own links!<\/p>\n
