#DragoNateCaringTee Charity Shirt Campaign for Multiple Sclerosis

Important:
The charity shirt campaign below has NOT expired and will continue to be available until further notice! So if you want to still grab a shirt, head on over to Teespring.com/stores/DragoNate!

Earlier this week, I created a charity shirt campaign on

http://www.teespring.com/dragonate-caring-tee-ms

where 75% of all proceeds go to support the National MS Society. I have posted about this on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even a video on my YouTube channel, that can be found below.

My biggest goal has always to help others in some way. This is especially something I want to do with my YouTube channel and this blog and everything to do with "DragoNate". My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 3 years ago and I have been wanting to help find a cure since then. That is what I am trying to do with this charity shirt campaign on TeeSpring.

I wish I could do a whole lot more than this and I wish I could do a whole lot more for other charities and other people that need help. That is so important to me. Maybe in the future I can, but right now, I just don't have the money to be able to do much.

When I found out about TeeSpring, I knew I had to do this! Please go check out the link and consider buying a shirt or a hoodie, a mug, a tote bag or even a sticker! There are multiple items to choose from and it would mean so much more than you know if you were a part of this! If you are unable to buy anything, please don't feel guilty or like you are being forced to buy, that is the last thing I want anyone to feel like in this :)

Even if you cannot buy, please share this post, share the video below, share the hashtag #DragoNateCaringTee and please share the campaign link

http://www.teespring.com/dragonate-caring-tee-ms

Sharing these things will help to reach more people and spread this campaign even further! The campaign ends on the 15th of December. Thank you so much and

GODBLESS!

No Blog Posts This Weekend

Sorry to say, but there won't be any posts this weekend (except this one of course!) because this week has been super busy with me trying to get a bunch of stuff done and improve my work space and all that.

Check out the video below for more information. Hope you understand! I am feeling super good about all that I've got done so far and I can not WAIT until it's all done! The space will make me feel happy and comfortable to be working in!

This is so great for me because I would LOVE to make what I do on YouTube and even here on my blog a full time job. It would be so great, so cool and just absolutely amazing. I can't even describe it.

Either way, next week the posts should be back to normal, videos maybe not so much, but in any case, I am excited!

Thanks,

Godbless!
