Freepers did an OUTSTANDING job in Q1 when Free Republic had to collect almost $20,000 in TEN DAYS to make the budget! Many donated even though it 'hurt' and some FReepers even donated TWICE to get us across the finish line - we couldn't have made it without that kind of loyalty and generosity. Amazing. I thank God for blessing us with FR, Jim and Chris, and the FReepers who get the job done.As a rule of thumb, I guesstimate trying to collect $1000 per FReepathon day would reduce emergency collections. SO looking at Q2, I see we're on day 6 and we've collected $3,000 (THANKS TO EAGER FREEPERS!).To stay outta trouble near the end of Q2, we might aim to match thousands to days in Q2. Just an idea. The Biden economy has made it harder on FReepers and yet FReepers persevere in working to Make America Great Again.If you plan to donate this month and just haven't taken the step yet, could you put in your donation today to see if we can get closer to our $1K per day to keep the emergency collections away?Some plan for later in Q2 and that is wonderful; my suggestion is only for those who are able to do so now. For most donors, the money comes in, whenever it can come in, and that has kept FR alive for many, many years. May God continue to bless Free Republic and those who call FR home.
THANK YOU, FREEPERS!
