Tagged: summaryI really want to encourage you to help me by leaving a comment about “why a sponsor should support HispanicTips” on this page. Your words and thoughts are more valuable than you know. Big kudos to those who help. – Gracias, Tomás
Why do I want a sponsor(s)? Where to begin. Get rid of the ads on the site, no more begging, convert this newsletter to direct links so you don’t have to go to the site anymore, regular doctor visits, expansion plans… Imagine if I can do all of this by myself in poverty what could I do with a sponsor’s help.
