Hi, I’m Jeroen, and this is my page: https://gofund.me/075eaf8e

Over the past few years, I’ve faced many challenges with my mental health—anxiety, depression, shame, and my ADHD, which I was born with.

In 2019, I went through a divorce, and since then, I’ve done my best every year to stay afloat and care for my kids as best as I could.

In 2022, this struggle led to a complete breakdown and I was unable to work due to severe depression. However, in 2023, after a lot of hard work, I was able to recover and fully reintegrate back into the workforce. As a result, I was able to work 100% and close the year with newfound self-confidence.

So, if things are going well, why am I asking for help now? Unfortunately, because of my depression and anxiety, I ignored many financial responsibilities over the years. These past debts have now come to light, and I’m doing my best to pay them off. However, there’s one area I am unable to tackle on my own—overdue tax debts.

From 2021 to the present, I have accumulated a total tax debt of around €13,500 due to benefits I received during this period. This is why I’m reaching out for help—not only for myself but also for my family. I want to ensure my children are as unaffected as possible by the situation I’ve created.

Of course, this isn’t my full story. To explain it all, I’d almost need to write a book.

I hope this message resonates with you and that you can help me and my children through this difficult time.

With all my love,

Jeroen

Help come back on my feet 🙏

It’s this.

Saw it on KickStarter, forgot about it, went back and saw the campaign was closed, saw a button labeled “Late Pledge”, it took me to BackerKit where it offered to preorder.

Did some research, but can’t get a straight answer.

So, if I want to buy a successfully crowdfunded product, is BackerKit legit or will I just be throwing money into the void.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. A year ago, I was unfairly dismissed from my job while my wife was recovering from childbirth. Instead of giving up, I dedicated myself fully to raising my newborn son. But now, as I start fresh, I see this as the perfect opportunity to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a photographer.

I moved from Portugal to London with the goal of building a career in video/documentary travel. Now, with my Indonesian wife, we want to create a platform that showcases the beauty of the English countryside with Indonesian narration (with English subtitles) —bringing together two cultures and reaching a global audience.

On top of that, I’ve discovered my natural connection with newborn and toddler photography, a growing demand that I’m excited to explore while growing my brand.

But I need help to make this a reality. I’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise the funds needed to purchase the essential equipment for my photography career. If you can donate or share my story, it would mean the world to me and my family. ❤️

Has anyone ever used a third-party marketing service for their Kickstarter? Tips or recommendations?

 I have been keeping an eye on this campaign for a few weeks now and they have been making a lot of improvements on their landing page as they go through their pre-launch. This is a really important strategy and part of what makes launching a kickstarter campaign so hard.  you need to launch what you start with and then find an audience that will give you feedback and data to help you improve your product and campaign launch. This is really the most valuable thing that crowdfunding offers. No other sales engine provides the campaign with the feedback and data that it gets directly from its backers on crowdfunding platforms.  This is a very unlocked aspect of crowdfunding. For example, if you have a different color scheme or skews of a product you can try them out on a crowdfunding platform and see which ones get the best response. This can also be done for your advertisements and marketing campaigns.  If you have a slogan or some piece of marketing content you can get it to customers and try it out before you take it to a wider market. This campaign has been taking advantage of that and doing a good job of growing his landing page and his community as he gets closer to the launch date.

 This really emphasizes how launching a crowdfunding campaign is a journey.  you start with one idea or with one skill set and as you continue talking to customers iterating on your prototype and networking your idea grows and your campaign grows. My crowdfunding  platform called crumbs allows campaigners to easily engage and connect with their backers so that they can get the best feedback and data from their audience. The platform really encourages users to join the campaign on their journey from pre-launch to launch to eventually taking their product to retail or wholesale. This is done by campaigners sharing behind the scenes into their journey as an entrepreneur.  They can use the social feed to share short form content about what they're doing and why they're doing it in order to reach their backers on a personal level.  Kickstarter makes this hard because you have to post a polished and professional landing page there is no space for trial and error.  However, if people were more authentic like they can be crumbs they would develop more meaningful relationships with their backers and generate more sales.The ability to use your following to help you improve and grow your business is an extremely valuable piece of information that crowdfunding offers.  Even larger companies are starting to use crowdfunding as a way to test new products or skews of their products.



 One thing about this campaign that I like is that he really focused on how he can communicate clearly to new backers. This product has a lot of different functionalities and use cases and a wide range of audience members. So it can be overwhelming to try and appeal to different perspectives and include all the information that you need.  Another problem is that you only have one chance to share content with your potential backers.  you have to include everything that you think that is important into your campaign landing page. Whereas on Crumbs, you can share new updates or important details about your campaign whenever you want from wherever you want. This is really helpful for the campaign or because they can start connecting with their audience before they have. a polished finished product in terms of a campaign launch page.  most people spend months and thousands of dollars using agencies and professionals to help them craft a compelling landing page.  but if they just use crumbs style social feed to share new updates whenever they feel like it, it would be a lot easier and faster. Not only that, you would be able to really understand the person behind the campaign and decide if you want to support them or not.  Seeing someone working very hard on their journey and dream is very inspiring and will encourage others to want to support you. 



 Overall I think that crumb crowdfunding platform will provide a totally new approach for campaigners and change the crowdfunding game. Crowdfunding has been going downhill for nearly 10 years now and has become a pay to win space.  crumbs is here to change that by combining new social trends like social media and other modern technologies like AI in order to automate some processes within the launch process.  Our platform is launching next month and we're looking for new campaigners to join us in sharing their journey with our platform.  We already have some awesome products lined up to launch next month and hope that more will join.  if you see the value in our product and want to try it out whether as a campaign or or just a backer let me know.

Hey everyone, I'm almost finished building my second Kickstarter campaign. Working on this anthology comic & art book with my co-founder, and now would be a good time to get some feedback before the launch on Wednesday.

Hi all. My car literally caught on fire about a year ago. I’ve been trying to fix it as a new one isn’t an option and was thinking of crowdfunding to help with that last bit of cash I need. Any advice?

Hey comunity

So here’s something I’ve been thinking about as someone who’s in the mining industry, with permits in diamonds and rare earth metals. What if we used crowdfunding to finance mining projects?

Here’s the idea:

• Crowd Investment:People, not just big corporations, could invest in mining projects, like helping fund the development of a mine or selling reserves.

• Profit Sharing:Once the mine starts producing or the reserves are sold off to a bigger company, the investors get a share of the profits.

But here’s the thing – does this sound like the future of mining, or am I completely off base?

• Could this be a game changer or a total disaster? We all know mining deals are usually for the big players. Could this open up a whole new opportunity for regular people to get involved, or is it just setting up too many risks?

• Can we trust this to work? Crowdfunding can get messy, right? How do we make sure the people putting in money actually get a fair deal?

• Is it even sustainable? Mining has a lot of environmental and community impact. Can this kind of model actually encourage responsible practices, or are we just chasing profits at any cost?

I’m genuinely curious if anyone thinks this could work, or if I’m just dreaming here. Would love to hear your thoughts!

A Real family looking for real help.I owe out about 70k euros to various lending institutions and I keep on top of my payments. Last year June 2024 I was made redundant and the life I once knew with my wife and two kids came to a limbo since then. I am actively seeking work and I had a decent job I've always been employed since I was 15 years old. Hustling but I cannot catch a break of late and the 950 jobs I've applied for have yielded no returns. I am currently on the unemployment benefit of 244 euro per week but soon I'll be in negative equity. Could you find it in your heart to help an Irish family in need and lend me the 70,000 euro interest free on a long term payment plan or a once off donation to help a family in need recover from financial hardships. I don't know who else can help me out of this situation and I'm not coping well with this. My wife recently found out she is pregnant. I don't want a handout I just want to be able to breathe again I'm spending all my time trying to find a way out of this mess this is my last resort.

To you, wandering souls and beating hearts, To you who read, who hear, who feel,

Lyon wakes up under an inky sky, and I walk, Tightrope walker on the frayed thread of existence, Exiled from my land and my time, Shadow cast on the wet cobblestones of destiny.

Eighteen winters have etched their wrinkles on my forehead, Eighteen springs have blossomed without promise, And yet, exile is not a border drawn on a map, There is a silence that stretches, an absence that weighs, An expectation that eats away at the soul more surely than hunger.

I was born in the red dust of Burkina Faso, Where the wind carries prayers and songs, Where the sky still knows how to listen to man. One September morning, I left my land, Not to escape, but to learn, build, grow. Knowledge was a river whose water I wanted to drink, But the shore was far away, the doors closed, And time, this impassive tyrant, left me in the shadows for five years, Five years of invisibility, where even the sun seemed to forget me.

Then France gave me an official name, A right to exist, a piece of stamped paper, But no paper heals the wounds of wandering, No visa fills the gap left by waiting.

Paris, then Lyon, one step after another, Looking for a land to plant my withered roots. But the walls were still there, No longer made of laws, but of solitude. Depression. Alcoholism. Debt. Interior storms are the most violent, Those who ravage without noise, who gently extinguish the light.

Today I am a man who wavers, But not a fallen man. I write these words not to cry, But to call, Not to beg, But to remember that the outstretched hand is an ordinary miracle, That man only exists through the other.

I was sentenced for unpaid rent, Condemned for hoping too much for a better day. For over a year, it’s at Restos du Cœur that I’ve found something to eat, For ten years, I have not set foot on the land where I was born, Ten years without seeing the horizon that built me, Ten years of remembering the wind, but without feeling its caress.

And yet, I still believe in the dawn.

One breath is enough to reignite a flame.

🤲 A donation, even a modest one, is a light in the night. 📢 Sharing these words can be a guiding star. ✨ An act of solidarity, and tomorrow can start existing again.

🔗 Donate here: https://gofund.me/72fa8074

If these words resonate with you, If you want to exchange, talk, provide other help, I am here, somewhere in the mist, waiting for the hand that will dispel the shadow.

I have a solid business idea with right set of minds in India. On What platform can I raise money through crowdfunding? Kickstarters Indiegogo doesn't work in india.

Ieri la BCE ha tagliato i tassi d'interesse di 0,25 punti portando quello di riferimento al 2,75%. Ha pure detto che altri ne seguiranno in linea con la discesa dell'inflazione e tutti i commentatori hanno detto di aspettarsi almeno altri tre o quattro interventi simili nel 2025. Se così è, cosa vi aspettate sui rendimenti in lending crowdfunding? Scenderanno o si manterranno sugli attuali livelli?
