Fundraiser Day Three
To date, the fundraiser for this site, which began on Monday, has raised $475 through PayPal and $150 through snail mail. That brings the total to $625. The goal for the fundraiser is to raise $6,000 by the end of Oct. 10. So please consider contributing what you can through the PayPal button on the right. If you prefer snail mail, let me know by email and I'll send you a mailing address.
As many of you know, the fundraiser's purpose is to raise enough money so that I can devote myself full time to mental health reporting for readers of this site. I wrote about this goal in greater detail here.
Thanks to the Seattle Times' David Postman and Crosscut.com for publicizing the fundraiser.
And, thanks to all of you who've contributed so far.

Phillip,
While I know large amounts of money are great, I thought I'd mention that Ron Paul raised over 1.2 million dollars last week on his website by encouraging people to give what they could, in increments of 1 dollar if that's all you can do, but mainly 5 to 100 dollar donations (then he dropped off of the face of the earth but that's another story). Still if you have 3000 regular readers and every single one gives at least 2.00 which you can do for free through paypal if you have a bank account, you'd have your 6 grand.
