#33Wow. Can't even imagine what that's like. My $20 are a drop in the bucket, but hope that bucket is getting more full.
He mentioned that he suffered a seizure and that led him to be taken into the ER. Does he mention any other previous symptoms that might have led up to it? In general, what symptoms do exist for this sort of thing?

#35Happy to donate.
The button was a little hard to see for me on the site (particularly on mobile).
The URL that the button sent me to (I forget whether Paypal makes this useless or not, but I'm hoping it works):

#36Don'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.
I had $6.14 on my bank account, and sent $5. ANYTHING helps.

#37Just 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.
Side note - is that really what people are paying for lattes now?

#38"PayPal does not currently support Donation Payments from buyers in JP. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
Sigh Someday the govt & banks will catch up with the 21st century.
If someone can put a little extra in the bin on my behalf, I'll look for a chance to pay it forward. Thanks

…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.
> and we'll never really know until we die
I think the atheist would say you won't know then, either.
