I take the blame for something I said that hurt another DUer...please read [View all]



Let's not go over my mistake from several months ago. The short version is that JMCKUSICK (John) was having a fundraiser. Some DUers misunderstood what I said. That kept them from donating to John. He is disabled and waiting on an appeal to Social Security. That takes time. John has shared his location, the hospital he has been in, his doctor's name, etc. Not the mark of a scammer. And no troll has come out to say anything he has said is false.

John is in depending on us to keep a roof over his head. He is even willing to sign off on a loan for when he gets his back benefits.

Here is his newest update on what is going on: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182231430

Under the conditions of a Trump economy, it is much harder to get help of this kind from the outside world.

PLEASE Donate to John here: https://gofund.me/112d07237 Kicks and replies would be appreciated too.
