But first!: The Gimp’s first comic ended in quite a cliff-hanger! If you want to buy it, find your local comic store here: http://www.comicshoplocator.com/Home/1/1/57/575. Then go there and ask for “A Voice in the Dark: Volume 1” by Larime Taylor, order number APR140534. The comic is dark, so not appropriate for children. You’ll probably have to pay in advance — comic stores don’t have a big margin and can’t afford to have comics they can’t sell. I did just that yesterday and ordered 10 for holiday presents for teens and young adults.
The Gimp’s Wife will start her second round of chemo in a week. She is Canadian and was able to have her needed surgery, but cannot get the chemo covered — it needs to be paid for in advance. She appears to have tolerated her first round quite well, thank goodness! One down, five to go.
If you can donate, even a small amount, that would be great. We have an anonymous donor who will match the first $200 in kind, so make that donor really sad (ok, really happy!) and donate what you can . Here’s the link to The Gimp’s Go Fund Me page: The Gimp's fund page.
Many Kossacks add $0.01 or $1 (like $10,001.00 — $11.00 works too!) to the donation to indicate that the donor is a Kossack, so feel free to do the same.
The Gimp family is living in Nevada — if you have any suggestions, please kos-mail him. For instance:
Q> Have you tried X foundation/program?
A> Probably! Still, feel free to offer suggestions and I'll look into them. Just understand there's a very good chance she won't qualify due to our unique situation.
