Updated 4.5.2019 – Thank you, Ashley, for your donation of $10 and for helping me figure it out. This problem has been solved ❤
Due to recent events, I am saddened to say that I cannot afford to pay the up-coming annual fee that allows me to operate Revenge of Eve.
The annual fee of $97.00 is due no later than April 25th.
Because of a recent backslide in my mental health, I was forced to take a week off from work. There are no paid days off for those of us who work as service workers in the restaurant industry. On top of that, the hourly rate at which we are paid – $2.13, doesn’t compensate for any lost time acquired. Basically, I sell my personality in order to provide an income for my daughter and myself. When I am experiencing a mental episode I am unable to pretend that it does not exist. The timing in which this episode occurred couldn’t have come at a worse time; site renewal month.
As it stands, I owe $300.00 for March’s bills which I aim to pay, plus late fees, this week along with my car insurance and storage unit bills. This totals $575.00, not including late fees.
My living situation will also change in the upcoming two months. My daughter and I will get a small space of our own. April has always been the hardest month of the year for myself mentally for various reasons. I was hoping to change that this year but so far, yes only one day in, it isn’t looking so good. But I will say this… I am grateful to have a job, a roof over my head for the time being, and the ability to stay connected using my newsletter.
If you find it possible to donate, all donations will go to keep this site afloat.
Keep R.O.E. Alive
All donations will go to the operations of the site, Revenge of Eve.
$5.00
If you wish to donate more than $5, you can do so by opting to purchase multiples by changing the number in the box allocated. This will be done in $5 increments ( number in box: 4=$20 example).
Finding the silver lining in this situation, I will not lose the domain because it was purchased later than the plan. Please keep an eye out for postings that will offer paper product packages that can be used in your journals for creating beautiful pages or for use in your art journal projects. Because I currently do not have a store for such sales, purchasing a paper package will require you to send me your mailing address via email once payment is processed.
Shipping costs will be calculated into the price of each paper pack except for international shipping. Dependent on international shipping fees, it may not be worth it for you the consumer. Waiting until I have the store up and running may be your best bet for purchasing my products. Also, the prices reflected here are not necessarily the prices of my products in the future. Custom package prices differ.
I will do everything possible to keep things going here on Revenge of Eve. Blogging has been my saving grace and I fear that if it goes, so will I.

Oh Candace, I am so sorry to read this… I’ll do what I can to help! Hang in there, Gorgeous! *big hugs*

Timing never seems right, does it? I will be ok because I am making sure to look at the bright side of things. I cannot allow this to get me down. If I must be offline for a month or so, that will be ok. I just really hate to lose my followers.

Can you shift over to the WordPress free plan temporarily to keep your followers until you can get your own site up and running properly again?

I can definitely ask WordPress because if that is the case I will be fine until I get in my apartment. My brain is clouded but luckily I am managing my mood about it all. Stress won’t fix anything so I am not doing that.

I’m sure it will all come together. I agree with Ashley that maybe switching to the free plan could help you save your followers until you can get back on your feet…

Normally the cost considering it is only once a year is not a big deal but because of my followers, I kind of panicked. I will contact WordPress here shortly. 🙂

This might help (and take a lot of pressure off your shoulders)… In short, if I understood well, you can let your plan expire, and not renew it. You keep your blog, keep your followers, but you loose your custom domain name. You have to go back to the free .WordPress.com adress you had before.
But hey… at least you save what you have for the moment, if you don’t find the way to pay your bill on april 25th 🙂

Thank you for looking it up for me. My case is a little complicated because I bought my domain separate from purchasing my plan. That was then added as my primary domain so the domain that will actually expire is notyouraveragechick.com and that is where it gets confusing. The domain Revenge of Eve will be active under my ownership until December. So…does the plan just disappear and automatically go to a free site? Lol.

So sorry Candace. I’ve never we had a paid day off either. Some jobs are so thankless. But someone’s got to do them. Gives us starch right? Take care. See what I can do.

No Amy, wait… I was able to figure something out that will suffice until I can afford to do it. You’ve done plenty just like Cyranny and Ashley… You three have done more than I could ever have asked for.
