Hello everyone,

Welcome to the first monthly update on the Bridge Fund.

First and foremost, thank you for your warm acceptance of this initiative. Your commitment means a lot, and it’s clear that we’re building something meaningful together.

This monthly newsletter is meant to keep you in the loop: where the fund currently stands, what’s coming next, and how you can continue to support. It’s also a gentle nudge to keep this mission top of mind as we grow.

📊 Fund Status

We’ve currently raised €1,950, which is 33% of our overall target.

We have not received any cash yet.

See the graph below for a visual snapshot of where we stand.

🚀 What’s Next

📣 Outreach – Wave Two

We’ve just kicked off the second wave of outreach this week. If there’s anyone you think I might have missed; friends, colleagues, or partners, please feel free to message me directly on WhatsApp.

📱 Leveraging Social Media

I’ll also begin sharing more about the fund across social media platforms—LinkedIn, WhatsApp status, and Instagram.

The goal is twofold:

1. Reach new people who resonate with what we are trying to do.
2. Stay visible to those I’ve already spoken to who might need a few more touchpoints before deciding to support.

Often, it takes time for people to warm up to an idea and direct follow-ups can feel like pressure. By posting regularly and getting genuine engagement from you guys (social proof), we create a positive nudge that can help convert interest into action.
