Help James Chung's medical expenses
Donation protected
Our friend James Chung was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML -- a form of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This campaign will attempt to raise funds for his medical expenses.
James is a talented artist in the entertainment industry -- some of his recent projects include the upcoming Alita: Battle Angel film, the sequels to James Cameron's Avatar, and the Call of Duty series for Treyarch. He and his wife had their first baby a few months ago.
In the interest of full transparency, GoFundMe takes a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation (GoFundMe may ask you for a "tip" which you can opt out of) -- the entirety of the remainder of the funds raised will go directly to James and his family to use where they see fit in his treatment. Donations are not tax deductible, but can be anonymous if you'd like. We decided to go with GoFundMe because it is one of the largest, most established crowdsourcing platforms, and we felt safe that the donated money would end up in the right hands.
UPDATE:
James has requested that we add his wife, Ahyun Jung, as the beneficiary to receive the funds instead of himself. He is undergoing medical treatment and felt that having his wife in control of managing the funds received from the campaign would be best at this time. Just wanted to clear up any confusion that may have caused.
