madrobinsThe fundraising campaign for Vera Nazarian has been so overwhelmingly successful that it is now--less than a week after it was started--shut down. In order to keep her house Vera needed $11,000 odd. The end number is closer to $20,000 (not counting income from still-open auctions) which will allow her to get her sewer repaired and manage a bunch of other debts and house-related things. One late-in-the-game donor came through--anonymously!--with $5,000.
This is wonderful. It's not just wonderful for Vera, who totally deserves the hand she's being given, but for all of us who helped her, and for those of us who just watched as the outpouring of affection and support and money grew. We forget how much power we have to help. In these times, that's an important thing to remember.
