UPDATE: Patrick Rothfuss' Heifer International Fundraiser
Wednesday, December 10, 2008

The response to Patrick Rothfuss' fundraiser continues to be incredible... as of my writing this, the total is over $42000 with one day to go. The current total can be found on his donation page at the Heifer International site; you can also make a donation there.

It's almost hard to believe that in such tough economic times so many folks have stepped up and given money to this worthy cause (I know that being a bestselling author and having great prizes for the lottery helps, but still...!) Sometimes I get more than a bit cynical about the selfishness and stupidity of people as a whole... things like this give me hope that may not be as widespread as I sometimes think it is.
