Cancer persists when good people do nothing
13 years ago
Welcome to the Journal of OtakuMan24 Game Player. Hope you're ready for rants and ravings on video games and other miscellaneous topics. Some of you may remember a little community I tried starting about 4 years ago to help people in need here on FA. It received its fair share of criticism, did some good, but ultimately came to a halt when I realized that before I can really help others, I have to help myself first. And being unemployed, penniless, and struggling to get by as I was, I had to think of myself first before I could really start thinking of others. Otherwise, I wouldn't be any good to anybody.
Today, I heard about
sahtori_kamaya here on FA. Her real name is Karine Coenen, and she's a native of Belgium.
Today, I heard about her cancer.
I was directed to a journal of her's from another person on my watch list. I read through her update, accounting her experiences at the hospital as well as her treatments, and was very moved by it all. I felt tears well up, and legitimately felt sad. If you're wondering, the journal can be found here:

Before, I would have contacted all my friends and asked them to spread the word in their own journals to see if people could help her pay for her medication and medical bills. However, before I did anything that I was criticized off back when I was in charge of the ADLM, I decided to contact her directly and see if she had anything that would ensure that no on could claim she was a fibber or liar trying to panhandle.
In her response, she sent me this:
http://www.goddess-ofthe-night.com/truestory.html
Seeing the pictures, the news clipping, the massive amounts of medication, and documents hosted on that link has shown me that she is not trying to fool or defraud anyone. She is sick and needs help.
I myself am still very poor and can not make any major donations at this time. But the least I can do is spread the word about how she needs help, and also spread the information that shows she is not making things up.
I encourage anyone who can to please help her in one way or another, even if it's just spreading the word further. I know there's a lot of other people who need help on FA, some who are in equally serious situations, if not more so. However, if I just turned my back and did nothing, I don't know if I'd be able to look at myself in the mirror.
Let's hope for the best and wish her good luck.
