A few are still coming! Thanks!
UPDATE 5 Feb 2022
I am happy to report that we hit the “100!” goal.
That doesn’t mean that you have to stop!
One year ago, when a tectonic plate shift in life took place, I started a campaign for 200 new monthly donation subscribers.
Your response was a source of great consolation and encouragement. Today, when donations arrive earmarked “200!”, like a battle cry, it’s a boost for my day.
Given the vicissitudes of life now – tectonic plates continue to shift, don’t they? – I must start another campaign. While I would really like to get another lift like the amazing “200”s, I’ll start with the “100!”s and, hopefully even more will respond.
Here’s my request for at least “100” of you to sign up for a $10 monthly donation.
I am grateful for larger donations, of course. I don’t want to limit you to $10/mo. If someone signs up for, say, $20, and tells me it is for this “100!” target, I’ll be doubly happy. It’ll be like one person doing the lifting for two.
“Many hands make light work.”
One thing you should consider is that, these days, almost all the daily Masses I offer, I say for the intention of my benefactors. It is my open, and stated intention. It is my pleasure as well as my duty to pray for you who are so good to me.
Firstly, there’s Paypal. This is easy.
There is this link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/fatherz/
Also,
Some of you might think to increase what you are giving. Instead of changing your already established donation by $10, perhaps simply add a new one with that particular purpose: “100!”. If you need to contact me because it is hard to figure out, drop me a line: HERE
Next, there is Venmo. I can’t set up a regular donation subscription on Venmo, but if you simply told me you were going to do this monthly, I’d believe you. Add a note like, “100!” so I can tabulate it for my project drive. HERE I got a notice yesterday of a “200!” donation via Venmo, which was a very pleasant point in the evening.
You can aim your phone at this. It should work.
I also have signed up for Wise (once called “Transferwise”), especially for those of you OUTSIDE these USA. I invite you to take a look. There are a few hoops to jump through but it doesn’t take long. HERE This is a really cool service that can take any currency and then I can, with change fees that are a tiny fraction of what bigger services gouge, move it to a US bank.
There are also snail-mail options, including the P.O. Box of the TMSM of which I am still “prez”.

Someone will regularly check that P.O. Box and forward my mail, so this is a slow, but sure method.
Please, dear readers – new and old – I could use some help. I still have moving issues: storage, insurance (gasp), repairs, I need a new roof, and recently my three major kitchen appliances have begun to mutiny (water leaks, etc.), including the lower coil in my oven starting on fire. That was exciting, and not in a good way.
Thanks to all of who visit here. I appreciate your time, attention, participation, prayers, and support.
It has been hard to slog forward this last year. Some days have been better than others. But, with a set jaw, the only way out of this is forward and through it. Powerful forces are arrayed against us now and they must not be allowed to bash us down into silence with their bullying and Stasi tactics. Persevere.
UPDATE 19 Jan 2022
Some kind folks have sent donations. Thank you! I am not sure if they are for “100!” or not. One is from a “200!” donor. I’ll try to sort it.

And thanks to the many of you who have made one time donations, which are not monthly subscriptions. The monthly method helps me to budget, but every bit is deeply appreciated.
