Dr Gears has been afflicted by cancer. Because American healthcare is woefully pathetic, paying for treatment will put his family in dire financial straits. If Gears were to hold a gofundme for his medical bills, would staff be willing to announce it on the front page like the Russian fundraiser?
At this time, there is no information on how much the treatment would cost. This gofundme is currently under consideration and does not yet exist.
I would still support promoting it. Gears has been instrumental in the formation and cultivation of the wiki, and his contributions to the site's lore are immeasurable.
