Again my friends in POIS, I have to make my voice heard.
We went to a lot of trouble to put together a fairly comprehensive campaign on Indiegogo.com, to help to raise funds for our research. There’s a small team of us who have dedicated a fair bit of our time to TRY to make it happen. The more we raise outside, the less we have to raise ourselves!
But so far, after 14 days, we have $85, $60 of which one of the team-members “mother-in-law” put in. We are 1/3 into our allowed time of 60 days! So at this rate we will get maybe $200 from the campaign.
Why? Demo and I invested $415 into a publicity campaign, which there has been no offers to support, we have twitter going full time and facebook, BUT 5 PEOPLE CAN’T DO IT ALL. We can only reach so many people.
I know that not everybody can give money, but everybody CAN GIVE. It is very surprising what can be done with only 30 minutes per day, a little TV watching time. I feel bad that the dedicated few have to be abused and made to work or donate so much more because no one else wants to get involved.
I can only assume that you don’t believe in research, that you think, after 5 years of trying that this can be resolved with chat between us. Unless there is research, we won’t have the medical community and their cooperation behind us, one of your biggest complaints.
So do you think it is going to resolve itself? Or "Do you just NOT want to cure POIS? Is that what this
is all about?"
Please help me understand!!
