Newest Update: We have about $1800 due Friday and we have less than $500 in our bank accounts.
Not completely unexpected but we got hit with a tax bill for $800+, higher than expected, and now Felix has to deal with the expenses related to Katie's death, about $1600, without Katie's income, and we want to help out.
Accordingly, we are going to increase the April goal for the Hatbox to $5000. Yeah, I know that's a lot and to be frank, we're not really expecting to make it but we just wanted everyone to know that that is what we are going to be trying to pay out of our own resources.
Here's the usual info:

Can we apportion how much we want to contribute?
To Katie's expenses that is.
Forgot to mention that
Yes, you can use the comment line on the Paypal form to designate Hatbox or Katie's expenses. Or the Memo line on a check. Thanks for the reminder.
Hugs,

April
I read this after raiding my PP account for an April donation, so I went back to rake out a few more dollars. They may be a little damp though.

Hugs and thanks
It's appreciated. And everything is damp here, it's supposed to be a desert but it's been raining for two days and is supposed to rain for two more.

It's not much, but...
$35 money order just went out to Piper by snail mail.
It's the envelope with to mermaids on it J

Well shit, I guess it really CAN happen here..,

Thanks, hon.
The New Jersey address is our UPS post box near where Piper lives. The California address is the block of postal boxes in the retirement mobile home park where I live.

Thank you, hon
Katie was not just my friend, she was not just an author, she was also part of the effort we put forth here. She was often the goad to get me moving when I felt bad or sad or disgusted. It seems astonishing that she is gone.

I have specified how much I am willing to kick in, out of that, for KT in the note in the envelope.
shortfalls
Setting aside the unexpected, it seems the balance is constantly falling short. Is there another source of revenue possible?
Charging a fee to join BC ? If every reader even gave $10, I bet your ink would change from red to noir quickly. I'm hitting PayPal again, use it where you wish.

Erin -- I mentioned it
Erin -- I mentioned it yesterday on Angela's blog entry, I had not realized that my previous recurring had gone away. Mia cupa, simply haven't been on much for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with BCTS. So I did sign up for the quarterly renewing super subscription.
Not sure how quickly that shows up, but you can count on it!
BCTS is too important to me, even when I am away.
Hugs,
Kristy
Income
Hatbox sub taken out
Upgraded membership
Like most I do have to watch my money carefully, but that does not mean I can not do something to help support the site so I upgraded from the free membership to a yearly subscription.
I'm hoping some of the other authors and readers that use the site that are on the free membership like I was will follow my lead :)
We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
