Subject: Fruit Lovers Rejoice! Ojai Pixie Tangerines Are Back

Hello xx,

I wanted to share an exciting seasonal story with you—the much-anticipated arrival of Ojai Pixie Tangerines. This year’s harvest is set to be one of the best yet, thanks to ideal growing conditions.

Grown in the unique microclimate of California's Ojai Valley, these small but mighty tangerines are intensely sweet tasting, easy to peel, and nearly seedless. With their growing popularity, they are a must-try for fruit lovers, chefs, and health-conscious snackers.

The FruitGuys, is a fresh produce delivery service that has been providing farm-fresh fruit such as Ojai Pixie Tangerines and vegetables to businesses, homes, and schools across the United States. 

Would you be interested in covering this juicy story? I’d love to connect you with The Fruit Guys team if interested in an interview. 

Best,

Riley Anderson

Hello Melissa,

I am attaching my experts responses, as well as, her bio down below. Feel free to reach out if you need anymore information!

Many schools have teacher appreciation day. This may include a potluck provided by parents, gift cards to local establishments, or small gifts. What teachers really need is daily appreciation. And this can be demonstrated through other kinds of gifts:

- Time—offer to come in and dust the shelves, organize books, find donated items for the classroom, have a fund raiser for school supplies. If you have a skill that isn’t offered in the school (music, art, speech, debate), consider volunteering one afternoon a week.

- Food—one of the single biggest issues is that kids come to school hungry. Organize a rotating series of snacks, donated by local stores, parents, neighbors, food banks.
Teamwork—demonstrate that you understand that teaching is an exhausting process. Be patient with your concerns. Avoid heated confrontations. Present yourself as a collaborator. Don’t expect the teacher to solve all your student’s problems.

- Responsibility—Build your student’s ownership. Involve your student in consultations with the teacher and staff. Make it clear that you will support your student. However, you expect the student to demonstrate willingness—and own up to failures while being prepared to move on to solutions.

- Support—Don’t forget the rest of the staff: principal, paraprofessionals, librarian, secretary, janitor, cafeteria workers. All these people are dedicated to education. Many receive extremely low wages. If you have the time or skills, offer to fill in when someone is sick or has an emergency

 Splitero Expands its Innovative Home Equity Solutions into Five New States

 Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina homeowners now have better options to access their home equity with no monthly payments 

San Diego, CA – January 28, 2025 – Splitero, the financial technology company that provides homeowners better options to access home equity, announced today that it has expanded into Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. This expansion addresses housing markets burdened by rising living costs and inventory shortages, offering a timely solution as many homeowners are locked into mortgage rates and in need of a pathway to home equity.

"Homeowners are seeking smarter ways to access their home equity without additional debt, selling or refinancing their homes," said Michael Gifford, CEO and Founder of Splitero. "We are happy to support families in reaching their financial goals." 

Available home equity has reached record highs, with almost $11.5 trillion total available to US homeowners. Splitero provides homeowners with access to their equity with no income requirements to pre-qualify and no monthly payments along the way. While lenders have originated about 671,000 new HELOCs, these traditional financial products have burdensome qualification requirements and monthly payments subject to high interest rates. 

“Many homeowners in Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina are equity-rich, meaning they have outstanding loan balances amounting to less than half their property’s market value,” said Michael Gifford, CEO of Splitero. “Splitero offers homeowners a powerful opportunity to access their equity and use it to enhance their lives without taking on additional debt, especially as consumer debt reaches all-time highs and the cost of living continues to climb.” 

Splitero Home Equity Investments (HEIs) allow homeowners to use their home equity to better their lives by paying off debt, renovating a home, or using their equity to achieve financial goals without selling their home or refinancing a low-interest rate mortgage. Splitero’s innovative Maturity Match™ aligns homeowners’ HEI term length with their remaining senior mortgage timeline so they don’t have to repurchase their HEI option before paying off their mortgage. Homeowners can repurchase anytime within their term without penalty, giving them the flexibility to repurchase at their convenience.

Splitero operates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Washington and plans to expand into additional states throughout 2025. Splitero recently secured a $300 million strategic investment from funds managed by Antarctica Capital and a $350 million capital commitment from Blue Owl-managed funds to provide more homeowners with access to their home equity.

About Splitero                                  

Splitero is a financial technology company that provides homeowners better options to access their home equity. Founded by real estate veterans, Splitero provides a lump sum of cash in exchange for a share of the home’s future value. Splitero can help homeowners in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Washington access their equity with no additional monthly payments or new debt.
