CAN YOU MATCH OUR SMALL DONORS! — We have hundreds of working people with very limited resources giving to keep this project afloat. So far we have precious few larger donors for October. A key reason why we are behind. Is there someone out there who can give $1,000? It would go a long way towards matching the efforts of those who are giving a portion of their household budgets. We have the working left, we need the some help from the more fortunate left. Sincerely.
