Winter Fundraiser, Day Nine

Another $76.26 came in yesterday bringing the fundraiser's total to $1,169.26. The goal is $2,000 by the end of Friday. So right now, it's $830 short, so let me remind readers of what I wrote once before:

If this fundraiser doesn't bring in at least $2,000 by the end of this week, then I will significantly scale back my work here. I'll have little choice. I have put my professional life on hold for over a year now in order to make sure that readers who are interested in mental health issues had a place to go every day instead of relying on the when-they-get-around-to-it coverage of the mainstream media and the delusional opinions of the likes of Judith Warner, Fuller Torrey and NAMI National.

If you aren't down with Warner's nonsense, then please consider contributing $10, $15 or $25 to my work here. I know intimately that the economy is very weird out there right now and that times are tight, but small contributions from the many thousands of readers this site has (February was a record hits month for this site) can add up very quickly. I need you all to pull together and give what you can to make this happen.

Unless you think Judith Warner's vision of an America where every child is medicated simply for being a child and every adult is pressed to take medications that we know don't work well and have untoward side effects is what you want. I don't want to live in Warner's world. I bet you don't either.

So please give what you can. Large, small and in-between. The PayPal button is on the right. Or you can email me for a snail mail address.

Thanks for your support.

I think that is amazing you are so close to your goal! that's only $207 bucks a day, and that means only 41 readers per day need to donate $5.00 bucks!imagine if they donated $10.00!

I'm pretty damn sure this site gets more than 41.4 readers per day!

sending good karma your way
