Message from Sharon Mitchell

Happy New Year and thank you all so much for all of your contributions, both individually and collectively.  For those of you who know me, you know how difficult it is to ask for help.

This act of kindness truly warmed my heart and soul. I should have my motorcycle back this week, and be mobile once again.

My gratitude is without bounds, you have truly made this the Happiest New Year!

Much Love,
Dr. Mitch

SHARON MITCHELL FUNDRAISER

We recently heard that one of our all-time favorites, Golden Age actress Miss Sharon Mitchell, has recently been going through a very tough time.

Since the end of her AIM organization a few years ago, she moved into a rural area in the country outside of Los Angeles where she has struggled to find work.

After several years of looking, Mitch finally found work with a nearby AIDS advisory service this summer, but shortly after she started work there she crashed her motorbike. She was badly hurt in the accident – and the bike was almost a complete write-off. 

Making matters worse, she needed the bike to commute to her job, and Sharon has not been able to afford the cost of the repairs so the bike remains with the repair shop.

Without the bike, Mitch will not be able to stay in work – and she badly needs the income to survive.

We’d like to help get Mitch back on her feet, and appeal to everyone this holiday season to assist us achieve this goal.

Please give generously and together we can make a difference.

In the spirit of giving TGAAF would like to give back to

 those who donate as a token of our appreciation.

Donations of $30 or more will receive a vintage adult magazine and a copy of Cinema Sewer (while supplies last).

Donations of $50 or more will receive the vintage magazine and a classic adult movie DVD (while supplies last). 

Donations of $60 or more will receive the vintage magazine and 2 classic adult movie DVDs (while supplies last). 

Please note that these items are selected at random and are being paid for and provided by TGAAF and that all monies collected will go directly to Sharon Mitchell. Due to the high costs of international shipping these incentives are unfortunately only available to ship within North America.
  

This fundraiser runs from December 6, 2015 to January 1, 2016. Let's help start Sharon's new year off on a very positive note. We will announce the grand total and the names of the generous donors when the fundraiser is complete. If you wish to remain anonymous please let us know. 

To learn more about Sharon Mitchell from the woman herself listen to the excellent podcast at THE RIALTO REPORT.

Annette Heinz had this to say to all those who supported this fundraiser:

"I want to thank all donors that have helped me. I was robbed and left with bed bugs by a roommate. These monies will enable me to fix my toilet, subfloor, and eradicate the demonic bugs. It will keep me warm. My taxes will be paid. Y'all saved my home! Thank you from my innermost core. You are well loved."

Our next fundraiser will come in a few months. Once again a huge thanks to everyone who supported in any way.

ANNETTE HEINZ FUNDRAISER

Newport Kentucky resident Annette Heinz was born on April 25, 1953 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She dropped out of high school in the 11th grade to attend Cosmetology School, and while Heinz was waiting on her license to arrive she saw an ad placed in the Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer by a local 28 year old entrepreneur named Larry Flynt. He was looking for go-go dancers for a new venue called the Hustler Club. Her life changed that day. She was just sixteen years old.

As she grew up and became a headliner in the boom-chicka-boom world of Burlesque, she drove all over the country, entertaining sold out packed houses and eventually landing in New York, where she met the king of porn cinema, Gerard Damiano. Gerry cast her in 1982's Consenting Adults, and from there she began getting attention from other legendary adult filmmakers. 

Settling down in the big apple, Annette then spent much of the 1980s appearing in various XXX features during the tail-end of the shot-on-film era, and was there as shot-on-video began to take a stranglehold on the medium. Miss Heinz and her filmography are ripe for rediscovery today, especially being as she is one of the kindest and most gentle souls we've had the good fortune to know.

Recently Annette has fallen on some hard times. To help supplement her small fixed income she attempted to take on a tenant who helped himself to her valuables (which she was to sell to help pay her bills) and left her home with a severe pest issue. Her 100 + year old home also has some structural damage that is in desperate need of repair.

The Golden Age Appreciation Fund is hoping to raise at least $1000 to help Annette get back on her feet and every donation of any amount is tremendously appreciated.

In the spirit of giving TGAAF would like to give back to those who donate as a token of our appreciation.

For any donation of $50 or more you will be sent a vintage adult magazine and a copy of Cinema Sewer (while supplies last).

Donations of $75 or more you will also receive a classic adult movie DVD (while supplies last).

Please note that these items are selected at random and are being paid for and provided by TGAAF and that all monies collected will go directly to Annette Heinz. Due to the high costs of international shipping these incentives are unfortunately only available to ship within North America.  

The fundraiser ends Sunday October 18, 2015. We will announce the grand total and the names of the generous donors when the fundraiser is complete. If you wish to remain anonymous please let us know.
