Hey all. A friend of mine's 9yo kid, Leon, is struggling with cancer, specifically, Leukemia. US healthcare is fucked, the fees are high, and they are struggling with bills as of late. The goal is $30,000, which should cover 6 months of treatment and will be more than enough time for them to get back on their feet.

If you can't help financially, that's fine. If you know people who wouldn't mind it, share this with them instead.

After talking to the OP in private, I've decided to pin this post. I think this will become a thing we allow here, as long as we verify the focus of the fundraising is proven to be legit.

Aww. I know how that is. If the community is ok with it, I can sticky this post for more exposure.
