DoingItLocal Will Probably Be Going Part Time

May 3, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

This really hurts.  I've been appealing for sponsorship for months now.  So far we raised $66 in monthly donations from 12 people. The Valley Indy Sentinel in two days have raised just shy of  $ 10,000. At this rate I will have no choice but to go part time at the end of the month and post just twice a day with no breaking news as it is breaking. If you want to prevent this from happening, I just need 1% of our followers to subscribe $1 a week at: https://www.patreon.com/doingitlocal or one time donations at: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=VmGj0ABeJZD9IirKoTsKQaEluLt6sO1qL2QnSARICQyCn0an_6vzi2KevWIjp1hA9hsWZG
