Even donated $50 on Substack but didn't realize it had to be a $100 for subscription so they gave me 5 1 month to give to friends

Same I donated twice via PP and no acknowledgement from Jess. I guess I won't donate anymore if I don't know she is receiving these funds. She is still a great journalist I'm not going to go crazy and be like she's bad now!! Maybe it's misunderstanding.

For some reason, my paypal has been holding funds since it was shared. It was viewing the donations as some sort of payment? I do not often use paypal so it's new to me. I'm working on it. I don't recommend any other donations through there. Thank you for supporting me.

I should mention that I did forget to check paypal when I wrote this list. I will do a second post for founding besties who donated on that platform. Thank you Jon!

Thanks for letting me know Jess. I already have a CashApp and PayPal so really don't want to open a Venmo too. But I do want to support your great work. If you aren't able to access those 2 donations please reach out. Please don't take my comments as being mad at you I just want you to get the funds that's all. Thanks and good luck with your studio.

In addition to your phenomenal talent, I have no doubt the universe will reward you handsomely for the kindness you showed Aiden by giving him your court pass. Godspeed, Jess

Hi Jon! I was having some trouble with PayPal earlier in June. Some payments were being held. They have released some and are still holding one. I did forget to add paypal donations to this list. I will add a new post for you and others! I'm so sorry!
