A very big thank you from our house to your house.
We raised enough in donations to pay for maintenance and staff costs for another month.
In mid-month we’ll launch a subscription campaign and see if that arrangement might appeal to more financial wayshowers who want to keep this enterprise alive.
But really, if we could pull the curtain aside and be perfectly candid? We’re looking for a patron. A good, old-fashioned patron such as Leonardo or Michaelangelo would have recognized.
We’ve been told that there are folks out there who are looking for a way to start their humanitarian/philanthropic work and who even now are reading this.
We’re appealing to you to come, help us out. This is our time of need.
It’s also our time to experience what it’s like to be on the asking/receiving end – we who are later going to be largescale donors, on the giving end. It’s humbling. I’ve learned a lot in this role.
In the meantime, you, our loyal friends, have helped extend our life. Yes, we are on life support.
Hopefully our collective ship will come in before next month and we’ll throw ticker tape in the air.
Many thanks to everyone who participated. The darkest hour is just before dawn.
