Help Vera update

[realthog]

Although 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.

Folks can also donate $ through PayPal. I'd list the link here but don't have it handy, at the moment.

Okay, here it is:

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.

Thanks for telling us about the remaining items. I've got a bid on something. How much has been raised so far?

"How much has been raised so far?"

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.

That's Fantastic! I'm so happy for her!

She's pretty happy herself: see http://norilana.livejournal.com/121441.html.
