We are honored and blessed by this generosity. Help us reach $45,000 by Monday, September 5. Make your tax-deductible pledge today. This would put us just over 30%, which is a very important target to meet because it will put us in good standing with Kickstarter, and may provide more opportunities for promotion through them.

For context, here's an abridged re-cap of the past three months of my life: 1. I lost my job. 2. My wife Amelia lost her job. 3. We decided to produce a new film called Becoming Fools, that focuses on street youth in Guatemala 4. Rather than look for a new job, we have spent all our time developing a Kickstarter campaign to...
