Hi everyone, this is John DeLin with a really quick announcement. I really do need your help.

Today I'm just here to talk to you about how to help keep more

stories podcast alive. This is the time of year called Giving Tuesday or the Giving season

right after Thanksgiving before Christmas where nonprofits have to stay alive or try to stay alive

by asking for financial support from their listeners. This has been a really amazing year for

Marmor Restores podcast, but it's also been a very difficult year and I just want to
