Help Vera update
Dec. 11th, 2008 11:34 amAlthough the Help Vera appeal has achieved its primary objective -- raising enough for Vera Nazarian to be out of immediate risk of being thrown out of her house -- there's still plenty left to do.
And there's still plenty of fine stuff -- plus some books of mine -- on offer in the associated auctions! For an update on auctions that are currently bidless and items that are still unsold, go here.

I know you've posted this link already, Paul, but I just thought I'd throw it in the ring, again. There's a PayPal button on the page, too.

Lots -- the f/sf world is abuzz with how much was raised, and all in just a few days. Putting an exact total to it is impossible right now, since many of the auctions haven't yet finished, but I can't imagine it'll be under $21,000.
Vera has put a lot into the f/sf community over the years, and clearly there are many who feel she's merited their gratitude. I know I do: she is A Good Egg.
