Last weekend the GoFundMe and Venmo donations to HE’s 2026 GoFundMe campaign (a Cannes and Venice double-header, looking for $8K total) was going great guns. I was at $3K last Tuesday and presumably climbing, and then it just…effing…stopped.
I’ve got enough to chip in my share for the Cannes pad ($1300) and buy the NYC-to-Nice air fare with a few hundred left over, but hater sentiments are apparently gaining steam or at least are thriving.
I’ll keep the current campaign going until, say, Valentine’s Day and see where things are at that point. If the donations haven’t moved I’ll have to figure out the Venice situation in March or April. One step at a time, I’ll get there, etc. Not the end of the world but I feel a bit hurt or…what’s the word?….drained?
Thanks so much to the longtime supporters who’ve quickly and generously coughed up over the first three or four days, and a pained congratulations to the haters who’ve been slugging it out in the HE batting cage for free for all these years and who currently have zero interest in turning the other cheek….there’s not much I can say at this point except “gee, I love you too” and I’ll never effing back off.
