Thompson Tough website scholarship

In 2021 my brother-in-law Erik Thompson was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS. This debilitating disease has made him lose the use of his arms, and he's losing strength in his neck and voice. There is no cure, and barely any treatments. This will take his life. This is very difficult for our whole family, especially my sister and their boys.

I couldn't do much, but I could do something. I could build them a website.

It allows him to tell his story, add links to accept donations, and a place to buy merchandise, blog about news, and post updates and upcoming fundraisers all in one place. In the last year, we've seen the community come together and rally around them, in their biggest time of need.

And now, I want to pay it forward to help other families in need.

We are starting a fund to help the Thompson family, and others affected by a terminal diagnosis.

How? A portion of each of our sales will also go to the Thompson Family. We are also promising to help other families in need by providing free website services.

For every $500 raised, we will build a website for someone in need!

FAQ

scholarship

Do I have to donate to nominate someone?

No, not one penny! Once we hit a certain amount in the fund, we will open up applications.

I don't have ALS, can I apply?

Yes, our goal is to help whoever needs a website through their most trying times. Whether it’s ALS, infertility, cancer, or anything else, we want to help.

How many website scholarships do you do?

Our goal is to do 2-3 a year. But would love to do as many as we can.

What comes on the website?

For most websites like this, you’ll need a homepage, contact, about, blog, and maybe a couple other pages. It’s just unique to you and your situation.

What platform is this on?

The free website with hosting and domain name will be on WordPress. If you need another service like shopify, we can discuss your needs but the hosting will most likely not be included.

CAN WE BUILD A SHOP?

Yes… and no. We can include links to a shop, or include a shop. However, most shops incur fees associated with set up, shipping, percentages, payment, etc. So that would be up to you to pay those.

WHAT WILL I NEED TO HAVE READY?

Before we get started, you need to have your content ready, which includes: photos, stories, and ideas. We can offer our extensive questionnaires for you to do beforehand and they will help with the words and content on your website. Or during our meeting we can discuss what you need.
