Welcome to the

HeroicStories Fall 2009 Fundraiser

You're Our Heroes

Most of the year we get emails from our readers thanking us for HeroicStories. They say things like, "You're my hero, for keeping this good news coming to me. It means so much to me."

Those comments sustain our spirits. Also throughout the year, our readers occasionally send financial support, financial "thanks". Every once in a while, however, we pull out the stops with a fundraiser, and ask you to join your fellow readers in supporting HeroicStories.

Please "Be Our Heroes" -- as you tell us we're *your* heroes -- and help support HeroicStories at this time. Click on this button to contribute and make a difference.

The secret to every fundraiser we have is that many readers contribute, and each contribution is a vital piece of the total raised. Yes, small contributions matter. They matter tremendously. Yes, slightly larger contributions matter, they matter tremendously. Contributions, which could accurately be called "huge" matter, they help us arrive at our goal more quickly, we're deeply grateful for them.

The important thing is the barn-raising effect: All contributions, small or large, matter, and help us achieve our goal. You may join your fellow readers by clicking here.

It's crystal clear that HeroicStories exists because of you, our readers. Your generosity has supported everything we've done since 2001. Everything. We've done some truly wonderful work. We've touched tens of thousands of lives. The heroic deeds in daily life, which HeroicStories brings to light, have been imitated by countless readers -- spreading ripples of good deeds throughout our world. Because of you.

Because you are our heroes, you step up when needed. We've set a fundraising goal at this time of $15,000, and we have $2,500 in challenge pledges toward that total. If you're among the first contributors, your money will be matched by other generous readers.

Sandra in Colorado wrote this week to say, "I wish I could afford to send you enough money to pay all your expenses. Your stories add a brightness to my days. What a lovely story 'Pansies' was! Things do happen each day that astound us, don't they? Thank you for providing a forum for these stories."

Not to put you on the spot, Sandra, but thanks to the power of many people chipping in a little, we don't need you to fund our entire budget by yourself. You would "Be Our Hero", however, if you chipped in a brighter day's worth.

Thanks so much! Your generosity means so much to us. We appreciate every dollar of your support, and put every contribution toward our continued work.
