#2Rich ran the Chicago PHP Users Group for something like a decade, getting a lot of people into web coding or writing better code. He's a generous, kind person who could really use a little generosity himself.

#3It took me a while to actually see there was a paypal donation button on the right. Perhaps ad-blindness, perhaps just taken in with reading recent updates - in January, Richard was given 3-6 months to live (http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/2014/01/end-game.html). Donation sent - I hope every little bit helps.

#5Can someone who knows this guy set up a Crowdtilt page for him? Charitable campaigns do really well there.

#6True - I missed the donation button the right on the first pass as well. Sent. Take care bud..

#7Sorry to read about that.
I am Not in good $ituation now but as someone who had similar problems in the past(medical bills and no money) I do feel it.
Life sometimes sucks but we can make it a little better.
Donate if you feel like it is ok to donate even small amounts.

This definitely deserves a little more visibility than HN alone.

#9It's so sad that the country where Richard lived, worked and paid taxes for about 30 years can't provide for him. I'm glad to be able to help. But what happens to those that don't reach the front page of HN? No one enduring the stress of a terminal cancer should have to stress about getting ends to meet during their last months alive. EVER
