❤️💖💓 Hi Shelli,
Thank you for this kind letter to all of us.
Why you cannot become a member due to gift status is illogical on Medium’s part. The membership was paid.
Sorry that you were denied in this regard.
As for readers, everyone ( except bots) I appreciate for their authentic engagement and support. We are a community and supporting one another makes a difference.
Sending a big hug 💖💓
