Another call: Help for the Sakai family
11 years ago
Stan Sakai is facing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills to care for his wife, who is suffering from a long-term illness. As if this was not enough heartbreak, yesterday came the news that his 20-month-old grandson passed away in his sleep.
Stan has done more than just about anyone to promote our Fandom. He has stood behind us, defended us, and helped introduce us to a skeptical mainstream. Furry Fandom could not have come this far without him. There is nothing we can do to ease the pain of his loss, but we can do our part to help take his mind off of the worries of the mounting bills so that he and his family can deal with this terrible tragedy.
The Comic Art Professional Society is collecting donations for the Sakais. If you would like to help, there is a Paypal link at http://garageartstudio.blogspot.com.....tan-sakai.html

But him and his family are in my thoughts.
One more reason to get off my ass and get employed. Easier to be charitable when you feel like you can afford it. (Or at least that's my lame ass excuse for not donating more. >.< I'll have to change that somehow.)
I can't even begin to imagine losing a child that young. No words could possibly be adequate. Such things just should not be.
Hope more will be able to do the same
