    Hey all,

    A very close friend of ours 2 year old son was diagnosed with cancer. Confirmed today stage 3, kidney cancer. They’ve got a fight ahead of them and are on a single income.

    If you’ve got a few bucks to spare I know it would help them tremendously.

    Appreciate anything anyone is able to give.

    If gofundme just asked for a small service fee then sure but when it starts at 19%, they can fuck right off.

    Anyways, donated and hope for the best

    Gofundme is a for profit company. They take 2.9% of every donation. MAYBE if it defaulted from $1-$5 I'd be more okay with it but having to opt out of an 18% tip is fucking CRAZY.

    it’s gross that in the richest country on earth a family has to rely on the generosity and kindness of strangers for their child’s wellbeing. As a parent who has a child that’s a cancer survivor I can’t imagine what this family is going through having to worry about taking care of him and dealing with how they are going to pay for it.

    Agree for once with you on this.

    The fact is some people are really desperate because of the cost of living crisis going on at the moment

    Cancer sucks. But so does rheumtoid arthritis as well. My mom mom passed from it, my cousin and i was recently diagnosed with it.

    I can't take pain killers because they make me sick. But my pain management doctor has come up with a plan. I'm not trying to take the thread away from cancer because it's the devil. However, im literally going through hell right now. Pain, not being able to do your athletic hobbies and being sick will demorilize you to the point were you don't care if you live or die.
