Supporters

Hi, my name is V Starks (pictured left), and I am crowdfunding on behalf of my dear sisterfriend Robyn (pictured right). She is a sweet, kind, courageous, fierce, beautiful person who I first met when we were community organizing in Central Florida 7 years ago.

Robyn is a mother who is expecting her second child. At 29 weeks, she experienced pregnancy complications and has since been admitted to the hospital for 5 weeks of bed rest. As she and her family prepare to welcome a new life into the world, they need financial and in-kind support for covering bills and baby-related expenses.

You can support by donating to her Chuffed campaign / cash links, purchasing items from her baby registry, and/or attending the upcoming film showcase fundraiser in Orlando, Florida. For more information, visit raraforrobyn.my.canva.site/

UPDATE!!! This update is overdue (haha, sorry), but I am so so overjoyed to share that my dear, magnificent, amazing sisterfriend Robyn safely delivered a healthy baby on June 28. Both mama and baby are continuing to do well, and we are deeply grateful for y’alls support in raising ~ $1235 (minus fees) thus far to support with baby, medical, and living expenses.

I’m a godparent, y’all!!! A Lovie who cannot wait to meet my beloved godchild in person. We will keep the crowdfund open and are also requesting donations of baby supplies from folks local to Central Florida. Please feel welcome and encouraged to email me ([email protected]) so we can coordinate details.

If you want to buy something from Robyn + Josh’s registry, please visit: https://raraforrobyn.my.canva.site/#how-to-donate.

Thank you for your continued support and solidarity. It means the world!

With deep love and gratitude,

-V

We deeply appreciate all of the donations and offers for in-kind support, and feel immense gratitude for the community that has showed up in a time of need. Because of you, within two days of launching, we have raised $635 / $2,500 initial goal! WOW, the outpouring of support is incredible. We have also received offers to donate baby supplies, soft-locked a venue for the upcoming Orlando film showcase fundraiser, and solidifed the lineup of 13 beautiful short films by Florida-connected artists.
