My Initial $1500 Fund-Raising Goal is Extended to Friday, August 14

 
Additional expenses are for mounting electronic video equipment on the tiller handles for $400.. The bright LED headlight is good to cover Mesa's amazing illuminated nighttime, and going to meetings after sunset. The additionalcost of a sun canopy is $250 + installation labor
 
 
This is the primary expense: a V10 electric scooter to convert into a "mobile newsroom". I can purchase a 3-year old model from a local reliable Mesa business for $119
If you can, please consider making reader-supported and voluntary donations if you are registered on Zelle or sending contributions by wire.. My Zelle registration Timothy Mello via First Fidelity Bank here in  Mesa downtown on Main Street.
Next goal is to establish a business website to cover hyper-local news and the East Valley.cities of Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert.
Your generosity is appreciated if you can contribute.
