Winter Fundraiser, The $22 Day

Another $22 from two people came in yesterday and that brings the total raised so far to $1,212 from 28 people. Thanks to all of you who've contributed so far. There's still another $2,788 from 72 people to go to reach the overall goal of $4,000 from 100 people somewhere around December 18th.

If you'd like to contribute, the PayPal button is on the right. If you prefer snail mail, send me an email and I'll send you my mailing address.

I'll level with you all: this fundraiser is going far too slowly for comfort and I truly fear having to scale back my work on this site should the fundraiser not meet its goal. But it's something I may have to do. Obviously, I know how much the economy stinks right now--I'm living it every day--but this site has several thousand regular readers and it shouldn't be such a difficult thing for a large group of readers to step up and contribute $10 to $20.

But maybe I'm wrong about that.

Philip, I haven't really thought this through yet but how about this for an idea? When you're doing a fundraiser, you could post a list of the names of people who have donated (with their permission, of course). Not amounts, just names. I think regular commenters would be more likely to donate. Just a thought.

And to my colleagues, come on, let's get this fundraiser done. Philip doesn't need the added stress.

Sorry,
I'm shouting lately. A little bit nervous.
Or angry?
Both maybe!

$20.00 a quarter is less than $0.22 a day. The Washington Post is $0.75 a day now.

Just a thought.

I'll try one more donation but a food bank got robbed this week and I have to step up. But if I can I will.

Hugs honey
