Watchers

Hello, everyone. I haven't posted a journal in a long while, but I wanted to share something with you guys.

After reading this article this morning and learning that, once opened, the 9/11 museum in NYC will charge a $25 admission fee per person, I became upset. In the article, it is mentioned that there will be a designated period of time that the public can enter for free, but I wanted to do more.

So, I started a fundraising campaign with the goal of prolonging the period of free public admission. You can go to the IndieGoGo campaign page located here.

Now, I realize that I can't stop forever the fee from being put in place. In an ideal world, or at least one where I exist as a multibillionaire, I would probably choose to fund the museum completely myself. However, that world is not this one, so I turn to you, my friends, for help.  Each $25 amount that is donated pays for one person. I don't know if I'll even get $25, but I had to try to do this. I had to try to do this because I think it is important.

There are donation sections as low as $10 on the side. All proceeds are going to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center Foundation Incorporated, a 501c3 nonprofit. I am just trying to get the word out so that more people will see this and, I hope, share it. Even if you don't or can't contribute, please tell people about this fundraiser and direct them to the above page. It would mean a lot to me.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
J.
