Summer Fundraiser, Day Eight
Another $130 came in yesterday from five people and that brings the total raised so far to $1,035 from 24 people, leaving $2,965 from 76 people to go to reach the overall goals of $4,000 from 100 people on or about June 5.
Thanks to all of you who've contributed so far.
While I've yet to get a few contributions that I know are coming in the mail, I've got to say that things are going slower than I'd like to see at this point. Most of you know the amount of work and expertise I put into this site and that there simply aren't any workable advertising options due to my criticism of Big Pharma. Unlike some mental health sites which take pharma ads and then engage in light criticism of their products, I'm not down for that kind of compromise...and that's why I've got to turn to the public to support the work I do here. On the order of 20,000 people read this site each month and some 5,000-plus are regular readers.
So I'm calling on those of you who have not contributed to date to step up and do so. It doesn't matter if your contribution is small or large, but I don't want to see this fundraiser fall short of its goal and then have to figure out how to scale back my work here proportionately. But if I have to, then I will.
If you'd like to keep me charging into the future and pestering Big Pharma, then the PayPal button is on the right. Or if you prefer snail mail, then drop me an email and I'll shoot you my mailing address.
Thanks to all of you for your support.
