Greetings illustrious backers! We are closer than ever to getting this in your hands. Many of you have reached out to ask when the book will arrive. You will get tracking numbers for that, no worries. At this point we are still in production, however we are still planning to distribute in OCTOBER 2017 per our original Kickstarter fulfillment date. The actual day your book will arrive will vary, which is why you get tracking numbers (woohoo thank you Backerkit, our generous sponsor, for making that possible!!). Ebooks will be made available as soon as they are ready.
Yes, there have been some delays - Single momma life ain't for the faint of heart! Of course I wanted the book to get to you sooner, but it's just me, a house full of preschoolers (my own 3 year-old included), and my elderly momma, who has needed a lot of my time lately. I know you can understand - This greatness is taking a little more time but BABY MOMMA RACHEL IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!
I can't thank you enough for being part of this vision!
We hit $25,000 TODAY! Keep going to 1,000 free books!

Ok so I was not sure if we were gonna make it at some points but today is IT...this is BIG! $25,000 ya'll that's INCREDIBLE and will do so much good with publishing the book, the 20 community workshops and free community dinner. I am doing a happy dance with Issa right now for reaching the minimum....also meaning you can all get the books you pledged for - YAY!!!
Now we have 35 hours left and I still have HOPE in being able to give away free books so I wanted to breakdown the $40,000 stretch goal which was for 3,000 free books. Ok so here's how it's gonna go....
If we can hit $30,000 before the deadline I will donate 1,000 books to mothers on food stamps!
If we can hit $35,000 before the deadline I will donate 2,000 books to mothers on food stamps!
If we can hit $40,000 before the deadline I will donate 3,000 books to mothers on food stamps!
So let's not give up now...a LOT can happen in 35 HOURS. Please keep spreading the link and the love! Here is the link to share: http://goo.gl/1kKheq
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Namaste & Hugs!
Rachel & Issa

Hello lovely #MyFoodStampsCookbook Backers!
Thank you for each and every dollar donated for the campaign so far! Tomorrow marks the half way point for the campaign and me + the A team are truly grateful and still grinding.
You will notice we are not half way of our funding yet (that would be $12,500) but we are hoping the journalists and other publicity support that has been reaching out will help a ton. Plus I was asked to speak at Oakland Veg Fest on May 20th! All hope is not lost.
We been asked in a few places if the book will be available if not successfully funded her on Kickstarter. The answer is NO so we really need to make this happen! Time is not on our side so I ask you to take a moment to do one of these FREE support actions below!
1. Refer a matching grant or donor - a large organization, library or baller who can support with a matching grant of $8,000 helping us cut the pending $16,000 in half and motivate donors to contribute the other $8,000! Send an email to [email protected] to make that kind of intro!
2. Share on Social Media: sharing this flier on social media and tag me and10-20 friends or social media influencers. I am Rachel Bolden-Kramer on Facebook and @babymommarachel on Instagram!
Make sure you include this hashtag #MyFoodStampsCookbook AND link in any promo: https://goo.gl/1kKheq
3. Local outreach - volunteer to supporting events I am speaking at like the Oakland Veg Fest or pass out fliers on BART (must be in the bay area and each will only be a few hours). EBT Chocolate chip cookies included! Send an email to [email protected] to volunteer!
4. Email some friends or basically anyone you know who are interested in being healthy and saving money. Remember you don't have to be on food stamps to enjoy this book!
Here's what to send them:
Your health is your wealth! No more complaining healthy food is expensive! My friend Rachel new book #MyFoodStampsCookbook is on kickstarter for 15 more days and I know it will help ALL of us be more healthy � � � Go check it out her story and get the book so you have this tools for eating right here: https://goo.gl/1kKheq
P.S. This is not just for low income people on food stamps! We all need to know how to eat healthy on $200 or less so we can have a bigger savings account!
Thank you again! Keep the hope alive! Spirited action!
Love,
Baby Momma Rachel
