We Are Hurting, and You Are Helping

The July fundraiser is not doing very well overall so far, but people are starting to respond at this point and help out. Thank you sincerely for that.

We’re still pretty far off the pace we need to be on. If you haven’t made a contribution recently now would be a great time.

Thank you!

BLOOD FROM STONES - Never been this hard to raise enough money to address the organization’s basic operating costs. Reinventing the process on the fly to come up with new ways to get through. This is not money we “want to have,” this is money we have to have to meet the organization’s financial obligations. Seriously. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
