Tink Fights COVID-19



Times like this can be a trying time. Everyone is doing what they can to fight back against the COVID-19 outbreak by remaining in home isolation. There are many children in the hospital battling the virus themselves. With the lockdown in place, Make-A-Wish Foundation is doing what they can to make children’s last wishes come true whether it is from the virus or not. It is difficult because they can’t take the children anywhere. For the months of April and May, Tinker Bell (Gina Rock) will be donating the money from her sales to whichever Make-A-Wish chapter that you choose.
1. Just pick the chapter you want by clicking MaW Chapters


2. Choose which autograph you want by clicking Autograph Photo

3. Or choose an autographed Tinker Bell pin by clicking Tink Pin 

4. Or you can decide on getting a bottle of Pixie Dust with Gina’s signature on it by clicking Pixie Dust

After you decide on what you want, just send me a message with the Make-A-Wish chapter you would like the money to go to. If you do not want to choose one, it will default to the Los Angeles Make-A-Wish location.

If you would like, a copy of the receipt from Make-A-Wish can be sent to you.
This donation went to the Florida branch.

Tinker Bell Has Flown Away

I am sorry to say that Gina can not make it to Mouse-Con now. Her work with FEMA has deployed her to the middle of the US to assist after a flood. She is very upset that she can't make it back to California to meet everyone at Mouse-Con this year, no one can stop Mother Nature. She has to go where she is needed.

How Gina Went from Tinker Bell into Disaster Recovery




Gina was interviewed on a different type of podcast. This podcast is The Civil Engineering Podcast. Gina talks about how she went from gymnastics to being an aerialist in the circus, flying high over Disneyland, and then into Public Assistance/FEMA as a Program Delivery Manager for Jacobs where she met and works with multiple types of engineers. She started with Hurricane Katrina in 2005. You need to listen to hear the whole story.
