HOW TO SUPPORT DA PURP: PLEASE SHARE

Hey everyone! I am actively trying to raise funds for rent this month. I need about $700 hundred dollars to pay off it by tomorrow night (June 10th). Anything can help. No amount is too small. Book a photos shoot, rent Da Purp for your events and projects, purchase a print or more.

Please share this for financial support and visibility.

HOW TO SUPPORT DA PURP: JUNE UPDATES

First, I’m sellling prints to help bring in funds for Da Purp this month. My goal is to sell out my inventory by June 10th to help cover the remaining balance of my rent.

I am planning on doing custom orders as well if there’s any interest. Prints order pick ups are free, shipping and delivery is an additional fee.

Second, my booking services are available on my Link tree, website and social media platforms. This is also includes Da Purp studio bookings. Please use discount code (THX4LOVE) to save some money.

Lastly, I am doing a survey/ suggestion box to see what type of events or activities you would like to see at Da Purp in the near future.

Also, I am still accepting donations for support of Da Purp. Any amount can help! Please share for visibility.
