Donate to Create AUDIOBOOK of VACCINES & BAYONETS, organized by Bee Harbin Bloeser

My mission (and I choose to accept it) is to educate and inspire one reader, one audience, at a time. To further that mission I plan to have VACCINES & BAYONETS: Fighting Smallpox in Africa amid Tribalism, Terror and the Cold War recorded as an audiobook. Respected journalists have praised it. Many have loved reading it! Now we need to hear it! How do I know it's good enough to be an audiobook? Foreign Policy magazine's deputy editor says it makes for "riveting reading" and "is a reminder that public health campaigns are still inextricably intertwined with politics." The Economist's former Johannesburg bureau chief says it's a "sympathetic, vividly told and useful record. . . ." A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author says it "reads like a political thriller, women's history and African adventure rolled into one." The book was an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Medical History, #1 in Special Topics in Medicine, #1 in History of West Africa and #1 in African History. It was a historical nonfiction finalist in the 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Who wants audiobooks? Everywhere I go, everywhere I speak, people ask me when I'm releasing the audiobook. I'm getting the message. A new audience base is consuming books and other information differently than in the past. The audiobook trend is growing daily for any number of reasons: ability to listen during long flights or other commutes, ability to multi-task, and accessibility for those with vision challenges, dyslexia or even arthritis. Others choose audiobooks simply for the sheer enjoyment of the more immersive experience a talented voice actor can bring to the book. Meet the Actor and Narrator Claudia Dunn, a classically trained actor and award-winning voice actor, will narrate Vaccines & Bayonets. Besides the many books she has narrated, she does the Audio Description for many PBS Masterpiece productions among other high-profile projects. Claudia’s years of serving in the White House West Wing Press Office over two administrations, traveling the world with the U.S. President and Press Corps, make her narration the perfect fit for the embassy and political intrigue aspects of this book. Her years as a practicing occupational therapist inform her passion for its historic and victorious public health story, and she has recently become personally acquainted with the author, giving her a feel for the author's personality and passions. I am humbled by her interest in narrating Vaccines & Bayonets. What would the $2300 cover? Individuals who are a part of the story of Vaccines & Bayonets have given much of the amount required to fund this project. The GFM goal, $2300, is still needed in order to give the go-ahead to make the audiobook a reality. The funds will cover narration, editing, mastering of the audio files, distribution, cover design and some initial marketing at launch. Any funds received over and above the goal amount will be gratefully accepted and used to give an important boost to marketing. Again, my mission (and I choose to accept it) is to educate and inspire one reader, one audience at a time. I hope my book and my talks inspire people to do just one thing to make a difference. I look forward to an audiobook expanding that influence. Would you like to help? You've read this far, so I have a feeling you're a person who is already living the kind of life that makes a difference. With your generous gift, you will help me inspire others in yet another way. Thank you so much for taking time to consider this project.

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.
Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.
Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow

1. Featured Campaigns Section

Highlighting Noteworthy Campaigns: We have a dedicated section on our website where we feature noteworthy GoFundMe campaigns. This not only gives these campaigns a spotlight but also encourages visitors to explore and contribute to them.
Rotating Features: To ensure a diverse range of campaigns get visibility, we regularly rotate the featured campaigns. This continuous update keeps the content fresh and engaging for our audience.

2. Social Media Promotion

Sharing Across Platforms: We share selected GoFundMe campaigns on our social media channels to reach a broader audience. Our followers, in turn, can share these posts, amplifying the reach even further.

LFEBridge Foundation's Independence

It’s important to clarify that LFEBridge Foundation is an independent entity and is not part of or affiliated with GoFundMe. While we feature and support GoFundMe campaigns on our site, we operate as a separate foundation dedicated to collecting donations for various causes, similar to GoFundMe. Many of these causes are displayed on our website to provide donors with a wide range of options to support.

Conclusion

By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our website, LFEBridge Foundation supports a wide array of fundraising campaigns, helping them gain the visibility and donations they need to succeed.
