To clarify -- I cannot afford (mentally or monetarily) to take on work at those kinds of rates
The idea I was proposing was like a raffle, so that if many people donate, only one would win a prize of having their custom app created.
But i think the main problem with this is pretty real -- that very few people would care about or have need for this "prize".

I was thinking of offering some specific required features in my already released NANY apps against some donation. But this is year end time in our country and I am too tied up with my project works, so I can not promise. If I get offer, and I find time, I will try to help DC here.

Regards,

Anand

$7,822 raised so far from 442 donors.. 15 thermometer sections achieved and we just entered the "green" zone, which means cody is starting to get dressed to do his victory dance.

We passed the $8,000 mark with 2 of 6 green segments achieved. 470 donors!

As a reward, some of my favorite "fundraiser" images from our past (I think these are mostly Deozaan's handiwork):

Keep the donations coming! It would be amazing if we could break our old record of 670(?) donors during our 2011 fundraiser -- we're at 614 now.

Awesome, the DC community is clearly still strong! Congrats to us all.

Cody is tapdancing in his sleep:

We just passed 700 donors -- that's more donors than in any of our previous fundraisers.

anandcoral · « **Reply #65 on:** April 21, 2015, 09:39 AM »

Thanks to all who donated and helped cross the mark.

DC is again fully energetic and kicking, yeah Cody will dance in few days.

And a new color! Cody-Blue!

Let's break the thermometer!

This is a huge and well-deserved vote of confidence in mouser, and in the community that he has fostered.

I think we're going for a record in generosity here, let's keep it up!

If all of us who gave already now added another dollar or two to the kitty… we'd have a really fat cat.

I'm poor but made a donation 4 $10. Love Clipboard Help+Spell.

mouser · « **Reply #69 on:** April 21, 2015, 07:28 PM »

Thank you jrmelb

We just past the $13k mark

This is really wonderful, and fills me with renewed enthusiasm for the site. I could not be happier.

We've raised enough money to pay for hosting costs for the next 3 years -- looks like we can all settle in for a while and get comfortable.

Congratulations mouser for the successful fundraiser and for the amazing community you have fostered here! It's really great to see the generosity of so many helping to keep this site going.

As for the fundraiser themed "LOLMousers," I was planning to make more of them for this fundraiser, but that site (cheezburger.com) has devolved into something that is no longer LOLCats.

That was an amazing 'temperature' rise from yesterday to today

I sent out a final call for donations to our newsletter mailing list and list of past donors.. And the response has been wonderful

It would be wonderful if we somehow managed to surpass the amount raised during the 2011 fundraiser ($14,239) ! Time to pull out all the stops!!

mouser · « **Reply #73 on:** April 22, 2015, 08:15 AM »

$13,568 raised from 809 donors.. Amazing

8 days to go and $671 more to break our fundraising record from 2011!

mouser · « **Reply #74 on:** April 23, 2015, 02:24 AM »

Well, it's official -- we have just broken our past fundraising record. This is absolutely wonderful.

Even more impressive than the amount raised is the fact that it's been raised from over 800 individual donors.
