All right, welcome back, everybody. This is a special update episode with Jess,

Jana, and myself. So you got to listen to us for a little bit. Sorry, but we'll be back

to guests very soon. We have a lot of stories coming up. That's part of the reason why we're

here. So we did a big push on Giving Tuesday. We want to thank those that were able to get,

who did donate. We did receive some donations, but we're doing a big push right now for giving

for 2025. Just to update everybody, as you know, Sacred Wilderness, which is our parent company,

bodies behind the bus, is under Sacred Wilderness.

So we are a nonprofit. We have been a nonprofit since the middle of this year.

So all giving is tax deductible, which is great. And our main focus as a brand,

sacred wilderness, or as a nonprofit, is to really push the stories of bodies behind the bus

to continue to do that work. of bodies behind the bus to continue

to do that work. But we'd also like to continue to provide resources, free resources if we can

like we have been doing throughout this year with at the bus stop episodes. We'd actually like to do

more of those. So we got together with our board. We have an amazing board. We tried to come up with

the number to try to help us to continue the work at Bodiesbine the bus. And we're going to kind of walk

you through what that is that we need and why and what we will be doing next year. And we're

going to kind of give a preview of that. So let's talk about what we need, what we're trying to

raise. We are trying to raise.

We are trying to raise a total of about $36,000, roughly about $3,000 per month, which, yeah,

that seems like a lot, right, to some people, to all of us, really, because we all, we all

especially feel the crunch right now, but where would that money go?

So the money really is going to go to two things.
