Tell me about. I might lose a leg pretty soon because I don't have insurance and I'm not homeless enough to qualify for help at local free clinics.
Kami, feel free to repost that article at the FFF. I'll be sending a donation shortly.
wish I could help but there are some problems on my end cause I need cash for a course I'm going to do and then the books and such *groans* stupid job network people just make me mad
Can't help monetarily, but I posted the link in my journal here and deviantART. I also sent the link to a few furry clubs at dA to help get the word out, too.
*agrees with Fluff* I will get my bank card activated just for this. I can donate a bit. I am really happy that you are helping with this! I wish that dressing up in costume just made everything better...
Already other furries are responding to a journal that i posted on my FA in respects to this fund raiser. I already contributed my donation, and i'm certain that there will be more to follow :3
That is a ridicolous amount, and even more ridicolous is that they won't do the surgery before they get their money. What is wrong with people? Yes, surgery costs money. But isn't it just a /tad/ wrong to deny someone a life saving surgery until they give you 16 grand? This world we live in, I don't know sometimes. I am hoping for the best for him and his family. <3 I highly suggest this gets posted to as many peopel as possible. Noone watches my account so that wouldn't do much.

Take this:
FACT: 50 of bankruptcies in America are due to medical costs.
FACT: 75% of those who went bankrupt due to medical costs HAD health insurance.
FACT: Health insurance company profits have gone up 400% during this country's WORST recession since the great depression.
Extrapolation: That's fucked up.
spreadin dat word.
well, as cool as the auction sounds, I think I'll donate some to the cause directly, and then maybe try my luck with the auction later =)
hope that's cool.
Just a shame that this has to happen to people.
Donated 5 bucks, and spreading it around!
