Why Donate?
Webmaster & Host: Bryce L. Tomlinson
You're
asking yourself, "Why should I donate to A Heart To Witness?"
1. You might not realize it, but I spent probably about 3 hours going through all these pages just putting up the link to this page. For the software page, I've spent countless hours and sleepless nights (and days--I used to work the late night shift), putting up links, writing descriptions to software, not to mention the actual time I spent testing many of the products to make sure they were safe for use. The Blog is going to explode with great information that you and your family will use time and time again. LOTS of work goes into putting this stuff up on the web.
2. The photo pages and the art gallery are self-explanatory. Those are images that you won't capture any place else, because they came from my camera or my pen.
3. Cost. It costs dollars to run a web site. I'll be very transparent and say that this web site costed me $293. In addition to that, I pay $60 a month for high-speed internet (which is MOSTLY used just maintaining the web site).
4. My offerings. When I have money, I can give more generously to my home church. I wouldn't want this to be the driving force behind your contribution, and I don't want you to think that every penny I get here goes to church specifically, but please know that my money belongs to God.
In summary, let me just say this: It's RIGHT to compensate someone for work that they do, if it benefits you regularly. If you come to my web site, and you don't like it, that's cool. I can appreciate that. I wouldn't want you to donate if you don't like it here. However, if you keep coming back (or even if it's your first time here!), and enjoy the resources that I have assembled for you, please help me out.
