I need help: Fundraising/donations

[Eastfist]

Hey gang,

It's been a LONG, LONG time, but I've been hit with the toughest dose of reality and been dealing with it best I can.  Explains why I haven't been able to continue working on my games and letting you guys know the progress.  But I check this forum all the time.  Anyway, I've been diagnosed with a wrist bone tumor and am going into surgery for a bone graft.  I don't have medical insurance, so I can't afford the medical bills.  I figure, hey, I got nothing to lose by asking everyone I "know" for help.  So pretty much, if anyone is willing to donate some moolah, please do.  I put up my sob story at my website: www.geocities.com/eastfist which has my P.O. Box address and other information.  Hope you guys can spare some green.

I thought social security had some form of disability insurance for extreme cases like this.  How can they say you're not poor enough if you can't pay the bills!?  Lack of universal health care has been my #1 gripe about this country for the past ~5 years.  #@$!
Even though I don't have any health problems of my own (yet), I don't want friends, family or acquaintances like yourself to have to resort to such difficult measures to deal with medical bills/problems.  I'd rather pay up to 50% more in taxes than have to worry about the inability of everyone around me to get the health care they need easily regardless of their financial situation.  What a ridiculous situation.  I hope you manage to get what you need.

I hope I really can manage to get the funds I need.  We're tied together in this universe whether we like it or not. So, please, if any kind strangers are willing to help a guy out, don't hesitate.
