The Green Bottle Sliding Scale

🌱 Community Rate — Reduced Rate for Limited Access

Consider this if you:

  • Have limited expendable income

  • Frequently worry about meeting basic needs like food, rent, or healthcare

  • Have little or no savings

  • Are living with chronic illness or disability that impacts your earning capacity

  • Are a student, single caregiver, or supporting multiple dependents

Choosing this rate helps keep services accessible for yourself and others. You are welcome and invited to select this without explanation.

🌾 Supporter Rate — True Cost of the Service

Consider this if you:

  • Have steady income that meets your needs

  • Can pay bills reliably and have modest savings

  • Enjoy some expendable income (for eating out, small luxuries, etc.)

  • Are not burdened by significant debt or financial hardship

Selecting this rate sustains the true cost of my offerings and allows the work to be viable. Most people may find themselves here.

🌳 Sustainer Rate — Contributing to Collective Care

Consider this if you:

  • Have access to financial abundance or generational wealth

  • Own property or assets

  • Have robust savings or investment income

  • Can easily meet all your needs and regularly spend on non-essentials

  • Wish to support others who need the Community Rate

Paying at this level helps fund sliding scale access and ensures my offerings can continue long-term. You help make this circle of care possible.
