I’m trying to post this anywhere I can right now as there is not much time to help on this. I saw it on Neogaf and wanted to post it here as well.
**TLDR- the man has to have surgery and he’s only got a few days to raise the money for it. I didn’t know where to go with this so I’m trying to spread this to anywhere I can that I feel might help. **
Keep sending this out guys. He’s got around a day left and he’s only at around $8000. He’s going to die if the other $40,000 for his surgery doesn’t pull through. If you can’t donate PLEASE, I beg you all send this out to any social network you got.
Here’s some more on this fundraiser from his friend Kubus on Neogaf
Please…I know this is a lot to hope for at this point, but dont give up. Try to push this. I dont want to hear he died because he didn’t want to ask for help. I dont even own a PS3 or have any history with the titles he’s made stuff for…I just dont want this man to die because he felt like he was a burden on the world or something. I want him to live…please do anything you can.
Thanks for creating the thread. Can’t imagine the pain and stress he must be going through. Hope all turns out for the best for him.
The fundraiser is up to at least $23,379 now by the way.
(these are the latest posts in the thread from neogaf that originally made me aware of this situation. Here are his updates on David and his hospital’s payment setup thats been setup for his emergency surgery)
OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod…Keep going guys! Push this anywhere you can. He can get his surgery and then the rest of the funding for his the after surgery and care can be setup afterwards which gives us more time to raise the rest of the funds he needs to recover. Thank you everyone. We are really close to having David taken care of through everyone’s efforts and I can’t thank you all enough. Just a little further and he’ll be able to afford all the medical costs for this. I cannot tell you how great this is right now. There are no ways to describe it.
Still trying to raise the rest of the funds to afford his recovery treatments so dont slow down folks. Glad he’s gotten this far, but he’s still got a bit to go.
When an FGC member crib burns down SRK is quick with the stickied threads and donations but when it’s someone outside the FGC but still within the GC, we barely get 5 posts.
I tend to stick to my bookmarked threads on GD. I very rarely search the thread list to see if anything new comes up so I didn’t even see this. Unfortunately I’m not in a giving position right now.
That clicker pencil holder is bomb as fuck though.
I feel terrible for his situation and am a huge ND fan…but this is exactly the point. I know I’ll get shot down for this but where would it end? Here it doesn’t feel like donating, it feels like helping someone to pay his / her medical bill.
Do they deserve additional exposure because they do something related to a gaming hobby? That depends on your perspective of course but I cannot donate to them all (even though that would be the most fair solution).
Edit: having that said, I’d rather buy one of those memorabilia or one of those hoodies, but that’s a business transaction and not a charity type of thing.
Thank you to everyone who spread this around. Continue to send this out if you can to make certain he can get the last of his treatments to recover from the cancer surgery fully to make certain he can go back to a normal life. We all helped save a life here and I am grateful to every last one of you for all of your help with this campaign.
