Whimsies, we need your help!

For those of you who may not know, Whimsical’s beloved McKenzie Catron (author of The Numina Parables) is chronically ill – which in and of itself is enough of a struggle – but recently she has been enduring significant, unexpected problems with the home she and her husband purchased (including structural damage and mold).

On top of that, McKenize and her service dog Grimm were victims of a terrible dog attack that has caused severe trauma and injury, resulting in additional expenses for vet and medical bills.

For more details about their ongoing hardships, you can read about their hardships on a GoFundMe set up by her husband, Kyle.

We are beyond blessed and in more than a little awe to have had so many amazing small bookish businesses and indie authors want to help out by donating prizes, allowing Whimsical to host a raffle to support McKenzie and Kyle in raising some of the money needed to recover and heal.

All the details, including a list of prizes and how to enter, can be found here.

The book community, at its core, is a group of people who love reading, and it touches our hearts to see so many members of this community coming together to help one of its own.

If you’re unable to donate or the prizes don’t interest you, we completely understand. We simply ask that every person who sees this shares it – you never know who it may reach. Whether it’s by forwarding this email or sharing our Instagram post, we will be so grateful for your help!

Everyone who donates, whether they are the winners of a prize or not, will receive a coupon code to use in Whimsical’s shop. And please do follow our prize donors – we couldn’t have done this without them!
