Housekeeping: Update on How We’ve Allocated Your Gifted Funds (Thank you!)

---

February 7, 2026
Saturday

Hi friends!

Happy Saturday!

As with everything we do here in the interest of total transparency — we updated our summary showing how we have allocated undesignated gifted funds to date – over the past 8 months (including all of the funds that you have given through your monthly Patreon support, GoFundMe and other sources).

Your undesignated gifted funds have helped us to cover the costs of laboratory testing and reporting of SIXTY NINE (69!) products over the past eight months! That’s AMAZING! Thank you!

If you would like to see the budget with more specifics of how we spend this funding, click here.

When you look at February’s updated gifted funds spreadsheet (link below), any of the line items that are noted with GREEN text and with a GREEN checkmark next to them are products for which your support helped us cover the costs for testing and reporting. Any future undesignated gifted funds will help cover the costs of testing and reporting for the 31 items in the spreadsheet with black text (for which there is a “$0.00” in the “Amount Subsidized” column) — in the lower part of the spreadsheet.

Prior to our January 2026 update, we hadn’t updated this for more than 7 months (as we were so busy writing and publishing articles — to keep up with the requests for lab testing — during the second half of last year), but this year we promise to do a better job — with a goal of updating this spreadsheet at least once a month, and so, the link below is your “February 2026 Update!”

As with previous summaries of allocated funding, once all of the funding has been raised to cover the costs of testing and reporting for the ONE HUNDRED (100!) products on this spreasheet, then we will close out this spreadsheet and start a new one. The line items with a red X at the end (in the “Report Published” column) are reports that have not yet been published – there are 19 of those that we will continue to work on publishing in the coming days.

Here’s the link to our current / updated spreadsheet — the February 2026 update on our allocation of undesignated gifted funds:

As of today – shown in the image at the top of this page – we currently have more than 5,400 active Patreon Members (the actual number is 5,486!) and our paid Patreon Members are contributing a combined total of $1,845.00 a month in support of the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Community Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative. This means we are just $5.00 in monthly support away from publishing the Druera Ceylon Cinnamon lab report, and $205 a month in gifted support away from publishing the lab report for the Hiya Kids Daily Greens + Superfoods Supplement (in Chocolate flavor).

With our average monthly Patreon gift of $3.00 a month, we simply need 68 more friends to come on board with paid Patreon memberships to help support the costs of testing and reporting for those two products this week (which we will otherwise subsidize when we reach these goals). In the meantime — today (this weekend, and over the coming week) the Lead Safe Mama team will be working on processing and publishing lab reports for testing and reporting that was funded by a handful of generous individual sponsors.

Pending (funded) lab testing and reporting Includes:
1.) An egg from a backyard chicken in Florida
2.) Missy J’s Unsweetened Carob Chips from Australia
3.) Promite Vegetable Extract Spread from Australia
4.) True Hydration Unsweetened Lemon Water Supplement Drink
5.) Seek Organic Coffee For Wellness (“Mold Free Coffee”)
6.) Young Living Thieves Premium Essential Oil Blend
7.) Danger Coffee Medium Roast (“Mold Free Coffee”)
8.) MindBodyGreen Organic Clean Coffee+ (“Mold Free Coffee”)
9.) Biome Boosters Vitamin C+ D Supplement Capsules

Here’s the link to join us as a paid Patreon Member (at $3.00 a month or more – whatever you can afford!) if you are in a position to do so. Thank you! https://www.patreon.com/leadsafemama/membership

Below are four other ways you can make a one-time undesignated gift in support of the work of Lead Safe Mama, LLC if you are in a position to do so. Please do note that we are not a 501(c)3 nonprofit — so gifts are not considered tax-deductible gifts to a charitable organization, but they are very much appreciated. As you can see from the spreadsheets linked above — your support in this way provides critical funding to help us make unbiased, science-based information available to the public — helping us to help people around the world make informed decisions for their families every single day.

1.) Venmo: @LeadSafeMama
2.) Zelle: Testing@LeadSafeMama.com
3.) PayPal: Testing@LeadSafeMama.com
4.) GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/da7095a28

Thank you for your support in all the ways!
