Introduction (for those new to this website):
Tamara Rubin is a federal-award-winning independent advocate for consumer goods safety and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children, her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005. Since 2009 Tamara has been using XRF testing (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals), including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic. All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times, to confirm the test results for each component tested. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023.

Lead Safe Mama, LLC
June 2023
End-of-Month Fundraiser
-
With costs related to our New York City Subway PSA Campaign this month, Lead Safe Mama, LLC is closing out the month with a shortfall of more than $3,836.95. I just came up with a fun idea to help cover at least some of this income gap, so please participate if you have a few extra dollars to spare this month!
-
Do you have a question for me that you would like me to answer personally?
-
Here’s the idea: for anyone who contributes $10 or more to Lead Safe Mama, LLC in the final few days of June via VENMO (@TamaraERubin, making the contribution public and including a Lead-related question for me alongside your contribution), I will answer your question in real-time (shortly after you make your contribution) via a comment on your Venmo contribution. This will be a fun way of using the Venmo platform for sharing Lead poisoning prevention information (which is why it would be nice for the contributions and comments to be public!). Thanks in advance!
- Lead Safe Mama, LLC is NOT a 501(c)3 nonprofit, so contributions are not tax-deductible, just greatly appreciated.
June 27, 2023 — Tuesday
Hello all!
I am putting this fundraising idea out there (outlined in the graphic above) for folks who want to support this work with a small contribution (especially for folks who may not already be supporting the work in this way!).
–
Please note: questions are also answered FREE-of-charge (as time permits and with the help of many volunteers) in our main Facebook group … Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadSafe.
–
OR, folks can join our small paid subscriber group for a monthly fee currently set at $52.35, although this price will be raised to $100.35 a month starting on July 1, 2023 (for those not grandfathered in at an earlier rate). This means the next few days are the last chance to join as a member of the paid subscriber group (for one month, two, six, or longer… whatever works for you!) before the rate to join raises on July 1, 2023. If you join this month and stay a member of the group, your rate will also be “grandfathered in” at the monthly rate you paid when you joined the group (as long as your membership does not lapse).
