Went Viral for My Brother… Need to Raise $2,460 By 8/20 to Pay It Back/Forward

At the end of June, I made a video on a popular video-based social media app looking for information on a specific type of notebook that my brother on the Autism spectrum has used for over a decade that he was told was being discontinued. My goal was to figure out a way to acquire a lifetime supply for him.

Well, I ended up with a lot more than information these last 6 weeks. 13 Million+ Views, 28,000+ new friends, & 900+ notebooks from 43 states.

That being said, I believe in what goes around comes around. So I need to pay back all the wonderful people that took time out of their day scouring stores for notebooks, paying for them out of their own pockets, AND shipping them to me.

I am roughly 492 notebooks or $2,460 away from considering myself “even” with the generosity shown my brother. My way of paying it forward is by supporting campaigns on DonorsChoose. Particularly those building sensory rooms for students on the autism spectrum.

My ask: Wednesday August 20th all donations on DonorsChoose are being matched site-wide. It is my intent to go ham and finish the mission that day.

My offer: I have 1,400+ listings on my eBay page and will be adding more including some incredibly rare vintage football jerseys in pristine condition. Message me on here if you can use anything.

If we can deal through here I’ll do 80% on singles and even better on lots.
