When planning a campaign, it's good to have some pillars/surest support as you start up, sort of like how a politician has a base they try to keep in mind, or a product has an estimated market. For me, two huge pillars have been family and friends, who've really come through in getting my campaign to 61% so far. But another pillar which seemed to have crumbled was an adjunct-campaign, a game-a-thon that didn't work out because the person I originally planned it with suddenly needed her savings for life-saving medical expenses. The good news is, one of the collectives I contacted just got in touch with me, and they will run something which we safely estimate will get me between $100-$200. So up to 5% of my goal right there, something to really push through the mid-campaign doldrums and keep things in good shape heading for the home stretch.
