Grateful for the Help — and Still Climbing Toward Stability
Dear friends,
First — thank you. Your generosity in the past few days has made a real, tangible difference in my life. Because of your support, I’ve been able to get current on my car payment — something that not long ago felt like a distant goal.
We’re now nearly halfway to the $5,000 fundraising goal, and that progress has already eased much of the stress that’s been weighing me down. It’s hard to describe the relief of simply being able to get to work without the looming fear of repossession.
But this road isn’t finished.
Rent arrears remain a real problem. So do unpaid medical bills — for both physical conditions and essential mental health therapy. These aren’t luxuries. They’re survival.
So I’m continuing the call:
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a paid subscriber, now is the time.
What you’ll get in return is the same kind of writing I did at the Register for nearly 30 years — only now, it’s unfiltered by corporate suits chasing an audience that never existed. This is commentary with teeth. It’s humor with soul. It’s journalism with a pulse.
