We used Nunito Sans on Riot.im for many years, and had the same experience of tracking down the author only to discover Vernon's tragedy. The font lives on, though - https://github.com/googlefonts/nunito for instance has sprouted a full Cyrillic version since.

http://sansoxygen.com/ is the way to donate to support Vernon's family now (the youcaring.com link seems to be dead).

>It seems he didn’t have life insurance, either. Peeps, if you have children, get some damn life insurance! Not doing so can turn out to be the single worst parenting decision of your life.

After life insurance, put your most valuable assets (especially your home) in a living trust.

And most importantly take care of yourself and tell your children you love them every day. Rest in peace, Vernon.

I clicked on the YouCaring link but it took me to a 404 page that said it had been absorbed by GoFundMe. When I searched for “Vernon Adams” on GoFundMe I couldn’t find anything. Does anyone have the link? Has anyone successfully donated?

EDIT: I see the link is http://sansoxygen.com/
