Project Update: Surveys Sent!! + Smarty Update

Hello, friends!

Over the course of the next 24 hours, you'll receive a survey from me + BackerKit in your email inbox. The survey is how you tell me which pin(s) you want, so please fill it out ASAP.

Survey Walkthrough

Your survey will have four main sections.

Pledge Questions: This first section is where you pick out all the rewards that come with your pledge level. If you pledged for 1 pin, you'll have to select a design only once. If you pledged for 4 pins, you'll have to select a design four separate times.
Add-Ons: This is the section where you can add any additional pins/stickers to your pledge.
Shipping Address: The third section is where you add your shipping address. You will be able to edit this until July 2024.
Order Details: This is where you add payment details if you decided to purchase extra add-ons. Review your order and then hit the green button to ensure your order is complete.

A few things to note about the surveys:

You will have 2 weeks, until 25 May 2024, to fill out the survey. This includes selecting any extra pins or other add-ons. After that date, the survey will be locked because I need to ensure I order enough pins (and not too many)!
Again, the survey lockdown date is May 25, 2024. The estimated date for your card to be charged for any add-ons is May 26, 2024.
I will lock the orders and the shipping on two separate days. If you, like me, are planning to move between now and when I ship out pins in July, don't worry – you'll be able to edit your shipping address up until mid-July. I'll keep you posted on exactly when.
I recommend filling out the survey on a laptop or desktop. While it can be done on a mobile device, it's a bit more challenging.
Pay attention to the pin reference photos. On each pledge question, you'll see blown-up images of each pin to help ensure you're selecting the correct pin.
On the add-ons page, you will see a tip jar option. This is where, if you so choose, you can donate to my friends' cat, Smarty, who is in the process of getting a diagnosis and treatment for an emerging, urgent medical need. To read more, check out this update here.

Pre-Order Store

If you or someone you know wanted a Warden pin and didn't get one when the crowdfunding campaign was live, I've made the pre-order store live for additional purchases! Please note that if you are a backer and you make a purchase from this store, it will likely ship separately and you will need to pay additional shipping. The pre-order store will close at the end of May, so get in there while you can!

Speaking of Smarty...

Smarty's parents are still in the process of pursuing a definitive diagnosis – the good news is that they've been told there's a good chance his elevated blood cell count is due to the physical strain he's under because of the dental work he needs done. This is the best possible scenario for his parents (much better than cancer or polycythemia vera), but it's still going to be incredibly expensive. The money meant for his dental work has gone to this diagnostic testing, and pet insurance will only cover so much.

All proceeds from the tip jar will be going to Smarty's parents, two of my dear friends who have given me and Warden so much over the years. It's my honor to support them and their baby through mutual aid, and I'm grateful to y'all for choosing to join me in taking care of their kitty cat. Send all the best vibes toward him and his parents, and I'll keep you posted as I'm given permission to do so :)

Love,
Cam

P.S. Any questions? Don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. Please note that this entire campaign is a one-woman show; while I endeavor to be prompt in all my email and message responses, it may take me up to 48 business hours to respond. Thank you in advance for your patience :)
