Extra Credits Needs Your Help (+$60,000 Reached!)

[HydraMoon]

I'm glad people are still donating. When I heard they were estimating the cost of surgery to be 15-20k, my first thought was 'geez, is she getting surgery in the back of the local Kroger's or something?'. 20k goes by like THAT in general healthcare in the US, let alone in surgery.

It's wonderful to see people donate and help out. Warms my cold, dead, shrivel-ey heart.

Allison- don't know if you'll read this but I'm rooting for you.

£6.57 could have bought me a couple of pints in the pub this evening. Instead, it converted to $10 for this cause. Games matter. And given how much food for thought and hope that they have brought me (and I hope, us), Extra Credits sure as hell matters. And if I had more to give (student here), I would have. The gods alone know these guys deserve it.

I'd like to see the PTC (or whatever it's called) get off its high horse and do anything like this if one of their own community needed the same... Meanwhile, apparently we're the immature, selfish ones who're psycologically damaged serial killers in waiting.

Wow. The donations are piling in ridiculously fast. Keep it up escapist!

Something to the tune of $10k in about 2-ish hours if I'm not mistaken? Could only chip in a few myself, sadly, but I noticed a couple people donating $1000 each - it's things like these that show what the gaming community is really made of (hint: not the cash, d'oh); colour me proud by association.

I just found out about it and I wish I could donate, but I don't have the money. If I did, I would donate at least $100 for her surgery. I have seen her artwork, and all I have to say is this: It's AMAZING!! I highly recommend seeing her official artwork, it's worth it.

It would a trajedy, if we lost an amazing artist to something that could be preventable. Also, shame on her insurance company for not covering her.

I'm quite amazed about how fast you doubled your goal in one day!

Best of luck to Allison.

I'm really glad to see the community come together and support Allison like this. Warms my tiny, cynical heart.

That being said, fuck the insurance company and its "pre-existing condition" bullshit right in its ass with a rusty fireplace poker coated with broken glass and syphilis. Twice.

I wish i could donate 1k to the cause, just so i can finally hear their thoughts on a topic i feel is extremely important to the industry. People listen to them.

But so glad the money (and then some) was raised for the surgery. Hoping for a speedy recovery

Honestly guys, just go to the donation site and keep hitting refresh.
It. Keeps. Going. Up. It's. Like. Not. Stopping.

I've decided to donate another $20. I'm so proud of this community and I want my T-shirt so show it =D

 

[Don Reba]

Maybe Allison could use the money for some preventive treatment for the other shoulder. Even if it is not as essential to her art, it might be a good idea.

Jack apologizes for not seeing this thread earlier.

*EC folks will now find another $100 coming their way*

I'd also suggest ponying up a bit extra for a private (AKA Single Occupancy, etc) room to recover in while she's in the hospital, unless this is an outpatient procedure. I honestly can't too many donors begrudging her of that creature comfort.

I agree, use the extra to get a better room, surgeon or something. Every possible advantage to Allison that the money will buy.

I'm pretty sure the Doctor will already recommend this but, speaking from experience, every day in the hospital with dedicated help as opposed to home and on your own makes a very big difference.

It really is amazing to see so much good happen so quickly thank you for justifying my basic faith in humanity.

I was trying to think of something appropiate for a moment like this, I believe I found it.

Congratulations on 60K, Its good to see that when you asked for 15k in 60 days, the community turned around and gave 4x what was asked for in little over 24 hours.

 

[Charmi the ninja]

Woohoo! Finally did my bit.

imperialalien@hotmail.com is allison paypal account, for anyone else that want to use Paypal to donate. (this should really be put in the first post - cos quite a few people want to know about paypal donations)

 

[HydraMoon]

Did we beat the high score yet?

OT- thanks for putting up the paypal info. Been having nothing but trouble from the Rocket site. Even with IE it wasn't working right, very frustrating.

 

[GrimHeaper]

76k+ money we are very close to 100,000

 

[Meralia]

Over $78.000? WOW :O People are awesome. Hope everything goes alright with the surgery, at least Allison can afford really good care now. Thanks for the awesome show, love you guys <3

Wonder how long it's going to take to print and send 1500 T-shirts? xD Well, I can wait.

And who are these two people who bought a week with James?

 

[King Toasty]

Gee, do you think we'll reach the goal?
