Artisan Barber of New York wants to keep their business alive and well and needs your help to do so on Go Fund Me. If there is one thing I think people have missed the most during the Pandemic is the ability to get a haircut whenever you want. Somehow our politicians and people on TV have access to haircuts, but for the average person we’ve either done them ourselves or just gone without. Keep the brand alive and let people continue getting great haircuts in the future by supporting their campaign today.

Artisan Barber of NYC has been around for 3 years and needs your help to continue thriving for years to come. They are inviting all friends, family, past clients, citizens of New York or anyone else to consider donating to this small business GoFundMe campaign. As the Covid Pandemic restrictions start getting lifted it’s more important than ever to go to the businesses you love, giving the workers generous tips, etc.

If there is one leason I learned from the Pandemic it’s how fragile society is. How the thin veil of life, the part that we normally take for granite can be taken away very easily. For example getting toilet paper from the grocery store, getting bottled water, cleaning supplies, going out to your favorite sit down restaurant, and yes getting a hair cut. All these things we normally didn’t even think about or appreciate before were almost taken away from us.

Now that we are starting to get these things back. We need to support them so they stay here for good as we solve this pandemic issue. Artisan Barber New York was started by Charlie McCoy when he was just 15 years old. In 2012 McCoy became a Master Barber and Brand Ambassador with Kiehl’s 1851. Slowly but surely he built up his reputation as a men’s grooming expert. In 2017 McCoy decided to start his own thing, launching Artisan Barber as a haircare company and lifestyle brand based in Manhattan. Business started to boom! McCoy even opened up a 2nd location in 2019 on the Lower East Side. Life was good and getting better.

Challenges

The success that seemed almost inevitable for the Artisan Barber, but that was about to change with the coming Pandemic. In March 2020 Governor Cuomo made the decision to suspend all barbershops. The formally bright future turned into a dark nightmare for this business. After three zero-revenue months Barber Shops are in the hole for a entire quarter of rent, utilities, and taxes, etc.

On top of that, there will be limits to reopening – new regulations that will restrain growth, operations, and revenue. McCoy is looking to raise a $100,000 Recovery Fund to cover the debt, expenses, and arrears for his two Manhattan Barbershops and the inevitable difficulties that he will encounter re-opening in the not so distant future.

Conclusion

This Covid Pandemic obviously hasn’t been easy for anyone, but if you resonate with his story or just want to support a great brand and business visit their GoFundMe today and consider donating. The more people that are aware of the issues small businesses are facing, like the Artisan Barber Shop, the better. Lets get America back to business as soon as it’s possible, even if it’s a new normal.

I don’t have to tell you there are a lot of people suffering right now due to COVID-19. The politicians on both the state and national level seem to be controlling the narrative at this point, but below the surface there are a lot of people facing financial hardship and general suffering. That’s why I’m bringing this GoFundMe to my readers attention. The GoFundMe campaign is for the Navajo People, Tsé deeshgizhnii. Your support will provide much needed supplies to the tribe.

The GoFundMe campaign was established by Lindison Yazzie Webb who is Navajo. Lindison was born in Tsabiikiin, grew up in Kaibeto and Page, and has a connection to the Dine’, it’s in his blood, the Tsédeeshgizhnii and the Táb??há.

Please consider supporting the campaign today:

Whenever I hear about someone needing help and feeling overwhelmed because of the great need I think of the following story:

“A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.

She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”

The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,

Well, I made a difference for that one!”

The story illustrates the importance of doing your part and not worrying about how large the problem or need is. If each person dos just a small job helping it adds up and we can solve seemingly insurmountable problems. You can make a difference in the Navijo Tribe today on their GoFundMe. Your funds will go towards purchasing food, water, cleaning supplies, hygiene, sanitization supplies, and logistical support (renting trailer, gasoline).

Supplies include:

– Water
– Flour
– Beans/rice (bagged)
– Canned veggies
– Canned meats
– Toothpaste and dental hygiene products
– Personal hygiene
– Cleaning supplies
– Hand sanitizer

Goal

The goal of the campaign is $10,000 and I’m happy to report as of May 26th they are 33% towards their goal. The Navijo Tribe still has a long way to go, but I’m glad to see this campaign is gaining traction. Donations as little as $3 will go a long way, anything helps in this case.

Conclusion

Lindis who created this GoFundMe campaign is a Navajo disabled US Army veteran, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and presently works in the live entertainment industry. They have been self-funding most of this but wanted to try crowdsourcing to make a bigger impact. Please consider supporting the GoFundMe campaign today and support the Navijo people.

If things carry on like they are, for the human race to survive, we are going to have to abandon planet Earth. Unless… unless… 

Introducing Mighty Watts

Mighty by name. Minimal by nature. Mindblowing by design. Mighty Watts is ready to revolutionise renewable energy. Cash Sherpa believe this could possibly save the world. This is the real deal. Believe climate change is real? Don’t believe it is real? It doesn’t really matter – It will give you free clean energy – – You win either way.

It’s A Wind Turbine. But Not As You Know It.

Wind turbines are playing a big role in creating cleaner, greener energy. Really big. And that’s the problem. Their size. Who’s got room in their back or front yard for a huge spinning propeller? In fact, with Mighty Watts, you do not see any blade movement.

Mighty Watts is a small wind turbine that punches well above its weight. It’s a fraction of the size of current wind turbines, yet can create enough energy to power homes, cars, entire businesses.

It’s a highly efficient energy generator with the power to transform the renewable energy sector.

Watt The World Needs Right Now…

With global warming a reality, we’re reaching a critical turning point in the story of our planet. And the Mighty Watts Wind Generator will give everyone the opportunity to access free, clean energy that gives us an alternative to the traditional and damaging fossil fuel burning energy sources that are cutting short the lifespan of our planet.

What Does Mighty Watts Do?

– Makes wind turbine energy accessible to all.

– Generates enough energy to heat/cool a home, drive a car, run a business.

– Takes up a fraction of the space of current wind turbines.

What They’re Saying About The Concept…

This highly efficient wind generator can be described as a technology that will transform the renewable energy sector once and for all. Mighty Watts has a totally unique design and improved features when compared to current wind turbines. LAWRENCE WRITTIN. Reg Mechanical Engineer & Member of Engineers Board

Why Mighty Watts Needs To Happen

Everyone who cares about the future of the planet and the kind of planet we want our kids to inherit has a vested interested in seeing the Mighty Watts concept come to fruition. We need ways to stop pumping harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and we need them now. Mighty Watts is ready to enter prototype stage, and that’s where you come in.

You Can Help Mighty Watts Happen

“Hi, I’m Roger G Phillips, creator of the revolutionary Mighty Watts wind generator. I’m on a mission to provide a free and clean renewable energy source for EVERYONE. My goal is to not just reduce but TOTALLY ELIMINATE the environmental and financial cost of heating/cooling homes, powering vehicles and running businesses. I’m looking to raise $350,000 to create a next stage prototype of Mighty Watts, bringing free energy generation for all a step closer.”

Why Mighty Watts Is Worth Your Backing

Conventional wind generators are huge. Way too cumbersome for anyone to have in their back yard. They need to be big because their design requires them to sweep a large area in order to extract the most energy from the wind. The only way these wind turbines can generate better results is by building them bigger.

But aren’t advancements in technology meant to make things smaller?

Yes, and that’s exactly what Mighty Watts is. A more technologically advanced wind turbine that works differently to the current crop, yet still has the power to generate impressive amounts of energy.

Meet The Team Ready To Build Mighty Watts

“Hi, I am Roger Phillips, inventor of the Mighty Watts wind turbine. I am a U.S. Navy veteran, 75 years old, and now a full time RV’er. I ran 2 businesses before retiring – Kapow Photo Gifts and The Comfort Zone Inn, both in Minnesota. It started about 10 years ago, sitting on the back patio, wondering how to reduce my $1700.00 power bill for my commercial building. This was shortly after the economy collapsed in 2008. It did not all come to me at once, slowly in one piece after another. Now it is all together and I CANNOT BELIEVE I INVENTED THIS, especially at a time when the world is screaming for a solution to global warming. To finish the project the final engineering has to be done, along with a CFD (computer fluid dynamics) analysis. When optimized by CFD, the production ready files need to be done to build the life size prototype for real life testing. To say “I AM STOKED” is an understatement.”

Project Timeline

2009 – 2012 – Developing the basic design of the wind turbine
2012 – 2017 – Working with engineers to produce the 1st stage
2017 – 2019 – Developing the KICKER and the SECRET SAUCE (2nd & 3rd stages)

“This needs to be fast tracked. I believe we can finish the engineering in 3 to 6 months with a team of 3 to 4 engineers, each with the different skills needed. Once done the production ready files could be done in 6 weeks, and another 6 weeks to build the first one to test.”

How Mighty Watts Works

This is where things get a little technical, but not too much. And hey, you’ve read this far, so I hope you’re at least a little bit interested in the tech Roger Phillips is using to build his wind generator.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

– Increases wind speed

– Leverages at the outer parameters of the turbine

– Uses a Venturi behind the blades

– Narrows the wind access area to increase velocity

– Eliminates the rear low pressure pocket

The Benefits Mighty Watts Brings

– Creates a 350% increase in velocity

– Generates 28 x more energy

– All within a smaller area. So you can have an energy generator outside your home. Facing in any direction. Harnessing the power of wind from any direction.

Ready to back this? The inventor appreciates every donation that gets him toward the target he needs to develop and test a prototype.

If you’re eager to deep dive into some of the technical details about the project, stay with this page as that’s where it’s headed next…

Mighty Watts Increases Wind Speed?

Yes, it happens by forcing the wind through a smaller area. Just like when a wide river hits a narrow area and forms rapids. It’s the same with wind. And scientists know that velocity works to the power of 3, so doubling the speed creates 2 x 2 x 2 of energy. 8 TIMES AS MUCH.

Not to keep knocking current wind turbines, which are doing a great job, but they are reliant on compressing westerly winds blowing through mountains and valleys. But here’s the thing – Mighty Watts can increase the velocity of wind coming from ANY DIRECTION.

Leverage Outer Parameters?

Mighty Watts forces the wind to pass through a smaller turbine blade access area on the outer edges. This is achieved with a cone in the middle of the front surface area, guiding the wind away from the center , to where it gets the maximum leverage to the axis point.

Venturi?

The Venturi takes the outside wind travelling at its normal speed, forcing it through a smaller area where it speeds the wind up behind the blades, eliminating the resistance to the incoming wind.

No Resistance & Narrower Access Area?

With no resistance to the incoming wind, the access area can be further narrowed, increasing the velocity even more. The turbine removes the energy from the increased wind speed, returning it to the same speed that the Venturi is increasing the wind to behind the blades. Called “flow continuation.”

Low Pressure Pocket?

Compressed wind from the Venturi and wind behind the turbine blades decompresses in the Venturi’s reverse cone, filling the low pressure pocket, returning the wind to the same speed at which it entered the unit. So there’s no low pressure. No turbulence. And yes, “flow continuation”.

Watts Not To Like About An Invention Designed To Save The World?

That’s what this boils down to. The vision is to see a Mighty Watts outside every home, generating free energy to heat and power people’s lives and drive their cars for free. And no need to rebuild the grid. But he can’t get there without your help… . Let’s get this done and get on to the other problems we have. CLICK HERE TO DONATE and be a champion for the world.

Steven is a journalist, a writer, and photographer. His life’s ambition is to bring compelling stories to a wider audience that will educate, inform, and cause a change in our collective way of thinking. Steven has always chooser powerful topics and this, ‘Stories From The Holocaust’, is based on this unwavering principle.

Contribute to the GoFundMe here:

https://www.gofundme.com/stories-from-the-holocaust

Steven’s current project focuses on Eva Mozes Kor, a woman who not only survived Auschwitz, but also the tortures of Joseph Mengele. Eva’s is a story of hope, of forgiveness, and the power of life.

More About The Project

There are 3 main aspects of the project.

1) First, Steven will be visiting with individuals who survived the Holocaust. His hope is to have them share their story, as Eva did, based off two questions- questions of hope.

2) Record and share those stories with the world.

3) Third, to bring these survivors to the community of the El Paso, Texas so that others may meet with them, sit with them, and hear their stories first hand.

The reason for the GoFundMe is in order to achieve these three objectives he needs help from the community. He can’t make these things happen by himself.

What Does Steven Want?

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what is needed and why it’s needed.

– $5,000 for travel expenses to meet with survivors, in person.

– $5,496.95 for the Nikon D850 Filmmaker’s Kit. Better equipment, better video.

– $479.94 for editing software.

– $2,599.00 for Apple MacBook Pro.

Total cost of this project is $13,575.86. That’s what the GoFundMe goal is set at.

Are There Any Rewards?

Yes, there are rewards for this very important project. Any contribution gets your name in the video credits. $25 gets you a video copy of one of the interviews, prior to release, as well as screen credit. $50, or more, you will receive a copy of the first five (5) interviews, as well as screen credit, and a copy of the magazine that they plan to publish in connection with this project. $1000 or more will get you all previous plus you (Donor) will become a part of the production. You’ll actually be interviewed in person, or over the phone. Interviews may become part of a special part of the film(s) at the end.

Conclusion

What makes this project different is these are not just stories of survival, but the focus is more about hope. These important stories have already been shared with groups such as Yad Vashem, the Shoah Foundation, and others. Help bring these powerful stories to life and consider funding Steven’s GoFundMe today.

I’ve debated whether or not to feature GoFundMe campaigns on this blog. On CashSherpa I feature a lot of crowdfunding campaigns specifically from Patreon and Kickstarter, but rarely GoFundMe. My goal with featuring these crowdfunding campaigns is to get the word out for new cool ideas, new tech, and to make a difference in someones life. That’s why I decided to feature this college students campaign.

The student goes to Full Sail University and wants to major in arts, where he creates digital artwork.

View artwork on Instagram:

The Challenge

“The reason I need your funds is because my parents used me as an endorser for two of their coworkers without telling me, which they used to fund their two coworkers schooling knowing that I also use financial aid that I am trying to pay off which is just making my loan amount bigger and I am 19. Consequently, I pay the sum of $4,500 every month ($1,500 and $2,000) on the student loans for myself and the two coworkers.”

The Solution

“To clear pay off some of these debts, I had to sell off my MacBook pro, my digital tablet which I use to make my art on which is also a career for me, and a few other precious personal belongings.”

Of course selling these items wasn’t enough and that’s the reason for this GoFundMe campaign in the amount of $150,000.

Have you ever desired a return to the nostalgia of your youth? The horror and scifi that would air with late night horror hosts like Creature Feature, Ghost Host, or whoever your local host was? Sure they were bad movies but they were so good too. Now is your chance. Someone is creating a new channel called the Nerd Broadcasting Network. A channel that will resurrect many of those old films as well as allowing producers a chance to get new independent horror and scifi onto your television. The NBN is ready to go with over 100 films and a dozen series already contracted. They even have connections with someone who has access to over 20,000 films. The only hiccup is that they are still on celluloid and it costs money to convert them to digital. That’s where the Nerd Broadcasting Network comes in, they need your support now on Go Fund Me.

What a crazy list and it is only the beginning. Steve Wollett, the president of Nerd Rage News Inc. is putting together some old and yet new. Uncut films of yore that will titillate and excite the diehard fan. There of course is a catch. He is short on the funds needed to fulfill the dream and make this channel a success. He needs about $50,000 in order to go live. Contracts are secure and the groundwork has been done but in order to get the app development and films digitized he needs a little help. As such he is running a GoFundMe to raise some of the capital needed. Go check it out and by the end of July we just might get the channel of our dreams.
