April Coronavirus Relief Donation

Helping each other weather Coronavirus at DigitalScrapbook.com

Back in March, DigitalScrapbook.com pledged to donate all new subscription income from that month to help combat Coronavirus and bring relief to those most in need. In April we donated $1200, and renewed our pledge for another month.

This last month has been a rough one: many of our members were forced to pause or cancel their subscriptions due to financial difficulties brought on by the pandemic, and new subscription signups were limited. Even so, we are rounding the income up to $500, which we have just donated to Direct Relief--an incredibly efficient and transparent charity that is working around the clock on Covid-19 relief for those most in need. (Learn more about Direct Relief at their website, or at Charity Navigator.)

Thanks again to everyone who subscribed during this period to help make this donation possible, thanks to those who have been able to continue their subscriptions during this time, and thanks to all of our community members who have come together to support and encourage each other over the last couple of months.

Of course, the challenges brought on by this pandemic are far from over. Let’s continue to come together, support each other, and do what we can to help each other make it through this difficult time. ❤️

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
