Don't have much to give right now, but it's a great cause. Such a shame to see anyone like this, especially someone as kind and active in the community (judging by people who know him). Wishing him all the best.

#22So sorry to hear. Prayers.
…won't help him. Money does.
Normally I'd jump in on the practicality bandwagon, but this really is not constructive. People who are going to pray will; people who are going to donate will. Your denigration of their faith, justified or not (and we'll never really know until we die), helps no one, particularly in this context.

#24Just read his series of post over his ordeal. He really has had a rough time. Guys (and gals) of HN, let see if our little community can get to together to help Richard enjoy his last days (and maybe provide a bit for his family if we do really well). Most of us can miss $20, and Richard and his family need it more than must of us do..
Done - and anyone else reading this should do.
It takes seconds and you won't even miss the 3 lattes it could buy you.

#26Is there any way to help Rich in addition to cash?
EDIT: I live in Chicago and believe Rich does as well. Looking to help.

#27I attempted to donate with a credit card and was rejected; I'm not sure if it's because it was previously (and not currently) registered with PayPal or whether a donation request can't be filled by credit (my successful donation was via debit). Just something to be aware of for others trying to donate.

Hesitated to push it to reddit but well, finally did it, hopefully not being off limit there.

#30I am really sad for this guy...
Can someone explain to me why is he asking for donations? Doesn't the insurances cover with these expenses in USA?
