I don’t want your money, but I will take your help!

I need your help. I am not asking for money, though your generosity is always well-appreciated. In order to help me do my work, I am asking you guys to please take two quick surveys that will give you credits on this site called Spot.us. After you’re done with these surveys, apply the credits towards my project—make sure to click on the green button, otherwise I won’t receive the funds. Your answers will turn into money to help fund my project.

All you got to do is take the next two surveys. One is by AARP and the other by Los Angeles Media.

This is the first survey:

This is the second survey:

This is what I’m working on:

For almost three years I have been covering the case of Luis Ramírez, an undocumented immigrant beaten to death by four young white men in July 2008 in Shenandoan, Pa. These kids were convicted back in October and their sentencing will take place on Jan. 24. The story has one last chapter.

Starting Jan. 10, three former police officers will stand trial for obstructing justice in the hate crime against Ramírez. I am planning on doing daily updates, recording a Spanish podcast and tweeting live from the courthouse throughout the trial.

Through Spot.Us the public can commission and help journalists do reporting on important and perhaps overlooked topics. Contributions are tax-deductible and donors can also take a survey to support the story of their choice at no cost to them.
