Congratulations to Leah and her mother, however I would like to bring up a certain point concerning this magazine. When I first read about it on this website I of course voted and then looked it up in order to subscribe to it for my daughter. I was very surprised by how expensive this magazine is, is there any chance that now that Leah has won the money she could bring the price down so that it is affordable?
Leah Larson
Yes! Part of winning the money will help make YALDAH more affordable eventually, or at least be able to give discounts and sales.
Thank you for your support!
