Can you help out a little, please?

I don’t do this for money. The Glenn County Observer is a labor of love.

Nevertheless, The Observer costs money. Gasoline payments, court document charges, and website costs all come out of my pocket.

And one of these days, my old laptop and my even older camera are going to kick the bucket.

I know most people who have encountered The Observer like it. A story in The Observer is typically read by two- or three-thousand people, with some stories reaching 10- or 20-thousand people.

Yes, really! For example, the first of my stories about the tragic death of Tracey Quarne was read by nearly 14,000 people.

Unfortunately, the number of people who have made a financial donation to The Observer over the past year can be counted on two hands. I appreciate these contributions immensely, but if a few more readers were to donate, it would be a tremendous help.

I hate to beg, but …

Please help!
