Woo hoo 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I win 2 one made me smile a lot the one of Flak photo made me feel like if life is a circle; and the other it’s perfect for me it’s about drawing. Girl what can I say u are an incredible person and u haven’t to ask any excuse for the “spamming” of the raffle, it’s for a good cause, I could understand the excuse only if u was sharing each day something boring like counting the sand grains. Be proud of what u have done.
You are such a sweetheart and waking up to your email made my WEEK. I will get back to you on it. Also I'm so pleased you won these - these are so great for you!!!!!
Girl u want to make me cry? U are so sweet!! About the email take ur time no one runs after you. Ok I write it but I don’t know if is a way of saying that works only in Italy here is: “nessuno ti corre dietro” it means do things slowly because there is no reason to do it fast.
And as one of your prizes is to my newsletter - which you already have an annual subscription to - I will email you with further info. It will all happen over the next week 😊
Don't worry Dawud, you don't need to do anything else. As I mention above:
"Over the next week, I will personally be contacting each newsletter author to provide them with the email address of their winner, to be added to their database as a complimentary annual subscriber. The winners will then receive a Welcome email in their inbox and hey presto, prize redeemed."
Wow! Your amazing Leyla. Practical Action sound an amazing charity doing some fantastic work around the world to tackle poverty and gender inequality. I’ve got myself a raffle ticket but I will be donating more to there fantastic work during Ramadan. Thank you so much for supporting their work Leyla and for running this fundraiser and sharing the work of Practical Action to us all. Hope your ab;e to help them raise some serious money.
Aww bless you Dawud, THANK YOU! And for your very generous ticket purchases! And oh my, this will delight them no end. I'm taking little screen grabs of all these lovely notes to send to them including this one :) :) :)
I'm so happy to be on this list and I'll definitely be entering myself too as there are so many fantastic substacks here and I wish I could subscribe to them all! xx
This is an inspiring idea. I have been struggling to see how Substack can be used for fundraising (mine’s for a school feeding scheme for a marginalised indigenous community in Namibia) and here it is. For the future ; when I build up some Leyla va-voom! Love the prizes . Hoping to win one. All the best to you and Practical Action.
Ooh - delighted to have won something - though I don't know how to fulfil the requirement to post a picture with my prize?
Congratulations! You do not need to post a picture 😊
Thanks! And thank you for setting up this fundraiser.

I have accepted both my prizes now. Hopefully funds can be released as soon as possible. Still not sure how I claim my prizes? Thank you

Wonderful Dawud! It's all explained above under 'Info for winners', you must have missed it 😊
I’m a bear with very little brain when it comes to anything slightly technical! I wasn’t sure if I should contact Elizabeth Gilbert directly also?
