    They’re Buying My Silence

    I’m not easily influenced and I am absolutely not for sale. I do, however, run this blog by myself and do free workshops and tech safety clinics for families. This is my full time endeavor. As the director of BecauseFamily, our non profit, my other responsibility is keeping our domain name in our possession, bills paid, and the family fed. (Four kids eat a lot.) That is why we are doing our HUSHATHON. The vision of BecauseFamily and the Safe Family Tech Blog is to be a free resource to parents to help them stay informed on the digital world their kids are growing up in. This means our income is solely based on donations. Below is the information for our HUSHATHON fundraiser. As a reader who benefits from our work, consider buying a few minutes of my silence to keep this thing going and free.

    Quiet Days: During the selected quiet days Michael must not speak or post on social media during the hours of 8am to 11 pm until the amount of time purchased by donors has been met. If Michael breaks his silence prematurely at any point during this time two more hours will be added to the end of the sponsored time as a penalty. The quiet days will be documented and featured on the BecauseFamily social media pages and YouTube channel.
