I'm sorry to keep posting this so much but I have to put down $850 for my own surgery next week and I don't know if we can pay all our bills this month. Even just another $400 would help so much.

Back at the hospital this morning to check in and the doctor told me this is more urgent than we thought. Please, please, help us. I lost my wife this year, I cannot lose my father too. I can't.

To top this all off, I now need a corrective surgery to fix the first one I had on my arm, and that's another chunk of change I don't have on top of bills and this. I could really really use some help now.

Could really use some movement on this if possible, we have until February to raise this money or we have to wait until May and that could be deadly.

Help a cool guy out please!
Today I went to a new doctor who, thankfully is amazing and actually wants to help me with my chronic pain. That does mean more tests going forward, and since today is Bandcamp Friday, this would be a great time to pick up some riffs to help me out!
I'm still digging myself out of financial holes created by an amazing healthcare system. For the forseeable future, the entire LS discography on Bandcamp is 75% off ($14 for 9 albums) if you want to help me out and get some riffs along the way.

In addition to the costs of my dad's surgery and appointments, we are currently 2 weeks behind on our heating bill, and close to having it shut off. It is 20 degrees out. The bill is $200, any help is immensely appreciated.

I'm currently the sole provider for my household while my dad is out of work due to an aortic aneurysm. I'm also in constant pain from a botched bicep tenodesis and am having trouble working consistently. We really, really need help raising this money. It could mean losing our house if we don't

This is really urgent actually, we're both very low on food and the local food banks are slammed.
Hate to ask this on top of the gofundme but I am down to my last $2 in my bank account after paying for the pre surgical procedures.
We really need groceries, could I borrow $100? I can pay you back next paycheck

It’s safe to say that Sifu is my new comfort game. Got the Wude ending yesterday and now I started a new game on hard mode. I will conquer this game again!

Please, he needs this surgery so badly. As soon as possible.

I lost my wife this year, I can't lose my dad too.

They say the roots of thrash metal are NWOBHM + punk — but really the punk aspect is attitude, because the *musicianship* of thrash needs precision. Hetfield is ‘simply’ chugging an open E here — the other 3 are giving the song its dynamic — but he’s the anchor. Lars didn’t set the tempo, James did.
