Support YHurt.com

---

YHurt.com is live. The next stage is to make it easier to discover and use—including for people who prefer to watch, listen, or explore alongside someone they trust.

The first helper’s guide has been drafted. The resources being developed include:

• a short founder video explaining why I built YHurt.com;
• walkthroughs showing how to find a useful starting point;
• video explanations to accompany the written pages;
• practical guides and demonstrations for helping someone else use the resource.

These materials will be added as they are completed. Feedback from users and qualified reviewers will help shape their development.

Your support funds the time to create this material, introduce it to people and organizations, and maintain the website and its supporting systems.

The central public resource will remain freely accessible. Financial and development reporting will show what contributions have enabled and what remains unfinished.

Perhaps you found words for something you couldn’t explain, understood an experience differently, had a helpful conversation, or discovered a meaningful next step.

I’d love to hear what made a difference. Your feedback helps me understand how YHurt.com is being used and what would make it more useful.

Sending feedback does not give permission to publish it. I will ask for your explicit permission before using your words, name, or identifying details in a testimonial, on the website, or in other public material. You can say no and still share your experience privately.

You do not need to share your full story. Include only what you’re comfortable sending, and leave out identifying details about anyone else.

Sharing YHurt.com with someone who might benefit is a meaningful contribution.

You can also introduce the resource to an organization, offer relevant expertise, or get in touch about helping develop the guides and videos.

You do not owe financial support because you visited or found something useful. 

However you choose to participate, thank you for taking an interest in this work.

Funding may be used for:

• website, software, hosting, and technical expenses;
• writing, editing, design, video, and publication;
• professional, legal, accounting, and administrative support;
• research, consultation, testing, and accessibility improvements;
• reasonable compensation for the people doing the work;
• and the development of future tools, training, partnerships, and support resources.

Priorities may change as the project develops, but the commitment to responsible use and transparent reporting will remain.

Development will proceed in manageable stages, guided by feedback, available resources, and the capacity to support each addition. Progress does not depend on reaching one all-or-nothing fundraising target.

A privacy-first companion app remains a proposed future development. It would proceed only when the technical safeguards and ongoing resources are sufficient to protect the personal information people might entrust to it. 

New resources and services will be clearly distinguished from those still in development. Roles and programs will expand only when there is a realistic way to sustain them and appropriate safeguards are in place.

Financial support will not purchase control over YHurt.com’s conclusions, principles, or public material. 

You do not need to fund an entire initiative to make a useful contribution. Smaller contributions help sustain the ongoing work; larger contributions, relevant expertise, introductions, and partnerships can help advance particular developments.

Budgets for specific initiatives will be shared as their scope and requirements become clear. 

If you represent an organization, would like to fund a particular development, or want to explore a partnership, I’d welcome a conversation about what we could make possible together.

YHurt.com began with personal questions and has grown into a resource others can use. Your contributions, feedback, introductions, and willingness to share it help carry that work forward.

Thank you for being part of its development.
