Sincere gratitude to you all - we are completely blown away by your support during these crazy times.

Two weeks ago our Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the new Possible Worlds space ended. We had no idea what to expect when we started it at the beginning of the month. Then Covid-19 hit. It’s been a roller coaster of feelings: excited to reach out one day to the community about our plans, then the next day thinking about other more pressing life and societal issues, and then the next day thinking about what would Possible Worlds be in the future?

At 11:59 PM we checked the numbers: we had surpassed our $10,000 goal with 200+ contributors from Ottawa, across Canada and internationally! So many of you sent us kind and reassuring words that you want PW to be here when the pandemic is over, or that it’s one of the first places you want to visit.

We’ll be spreading the love, too - once final numbers are in, we’ll be donating a portion of funds above the goal to Parkdale Food Bank, the neighbourhood food bank in our new hood.

We’ll also be continuing to highlight friends, artists and supporters in our IG Highlights. We have been taking the time to highlight their skills in each story so we can get to know each other and what they might have to offer. Please check them out and reach out to them if you like what they’re doing and want to support.

If you wanted to contribute but didn’t get a chance, you can still do so by purchasing a gift certificate or Possible Worlds merchandise like a shirt or slipmats. Click on the button below. Every little bit helps.

With gratitude,
Melanie + Jason
