Arkivet :: Crooked Bough - Donation Gift

The wonderful people at BeSpoke Caravan are currently hosting a December Donation Charity Drive to help a community member in need. It began last night at the live music show and is continuing throughout December.

 

As a donation incentive, you can get these tree-inspired horns when you donate at the donation box located at the taxi below. They come in 7 different colours and are copy/mod.

 

There is no set price - please donate what you can afford to; it's a difficult time of the year for many.

 

Here's more information from Mud:

 

"Hello friends, today I have an important message to share as we begin our show. We at BeSpoke are honored, and so very thankful to share space with this wonderful community. All of you make this worth doing- every minute of it.

 

One of our long term community members is in need. We are putting out a donation box here for the remainder of December for them. Please consider donating; BeSpoke will reward the community for this charity. As a stretch goal, if 500k is raised over the month of December, BeSpoke will create a free head of the community's choice. Donations in USD must be made over paypal, please contact me (BeSpokeCaravan Resident) personally to navigate that.

 

Our community member wishes to remain anonymous, and so I will read this letter:

 

"Dear BeSpoke community,

My father has been in the ICU for a week now after getting emergency pacemaker surgery. We all know that hospital bills aren't cheap, and it was made even worse for my family, because they asked us to pay for the pacemaker up front before they operated.

 

The pacemaker cost us 2000 USD, a small fortune in my country, and combined with the costs of a protracted illness and the rising cost of living the world over, we currently find ourselves with very few options and very little money to weather this storm. The wolves are already howling outside our door.

 

Any amount that you can comfortably give would be a tremendous help for my family. I know that many of us within our community are also struggling right now, and if you feel you cannot help at this time, it's alright. For those with the resources to offer aid, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

 

Thank you for being such an amazing community of talented and supportive individuals who are united by our love for the fantastic, the strange, and the unexpected. I'm truly proud and happy to be part of it.

"People say I'm different

My way of life seems strange

I took the road less travelled

Twists and turns along the way

But like the crooked tree

I'm growing stronger day by day

As the clouds roll by

 

A river never wonders

Why it flows around the bend

A mountain doesn't question

How it rose up from the land

So who am I to wish

I wasn't just the way I am

Who am I?

 

Oh, can't you see?

A crooked tree won't fit into the mill machine

They're left to grow wild and free

Oh, I'd rather be a crooked tree"
