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

If you wish to send original artwork to be auctioned to help please see: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12376881/

In addition to that, I'd like to help by doing some streams in the near future where all proceeds will go help so be on the lookout for those.
