I know this statement will risk banishment to the test board, but something is wrong in this world where we will spend $5B+ total on a presidential campaigns but need to do internet fundraisers to help brain cancer patients cover the costs of care.
Probably not the right spot to respond but I will anyway. First of all this is horrible and a cancer diagnosis at any age is scary [been there twice] but at such a young age it is devastating. My prayers [as well as my donation] go out to Matt and his family.I know this statement will risk banishment to the test board, but something is wrong in this world where we will spend $5B+ total on a presidential campaigns but need to do internet fundraisers to help brain cancer patients cover the costs of care.
I think people on all sides are unhappy about the amount of money spent on political campaigns (not just presidential). Of course those are private contributions, not taxpayer dollars. The only difference people have is who should be prohibited from giving to a campaign. If your guy is getting the money it's OK. Not so much if the other guy is getting the money.I know this statement will risk banishment to the test board, but something is wrong in this world where we will spend $5B+ total on a presidential campaigns but need to do internet fundraisers to help brain cancer patients cover the costs of care.
Ignorance is bliss.How do you know his financial condition and especially how do you know his costs aren't covered? The write-up on the gofundme page doesn't mention anything about his finances.
I donated. I might also purchase a print. Couple really stood out for me.
Ignorance is bliss.
"Matt's path for treatment will require surgery, physical therapy, clinical trials, and professional expertise to pre-empt the progression of this terrible disease. This is truly an urgent cause as Matt is now reliant on all available aid to face both cancer, the many accruing hospital bills, a newborn baby, and day-to-day living expenses."
It's absolutely disgusting that this is being talked about in this thread.Pearl,
Look at the gofundme goals. target of $65,000. I suspect that is more for the new born baby and day to day living expenses portion. THAT IS A WORTHY GOAL. Nobody is suggesting otherwise [I hope]. The side debate is the OP suggested we live in a system that doesn't cover these medical expenses, which by your post will likely end up a lot closer to the millions than $65,000 or whatever can be raised on a gfm page. If someone were suggesting Matt wouldn't receive these medical treatments because he couldn't afford them it would be a different discussion.
I'm out. Hope you donated, I didIt's absolutely disgusting that this is being talked about in this thread.
Remember, the money spent on by the campaigns is privately donated. It isn’t public money.I know this statement will risk banishment to the test board, but something is wrong in this world where we will spend $5B+ total on a presidential campaigns but need to do internet fundraisers to help brain cancer patients cover the costs of care.
