Hello all, to my animation community, friends, family, and acquaintances. As many of you know, I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a blood cancer). This is a complicated, serious and sudden health situation that has hit me hard. It is treatable they say. I have been in the hospital for the past week, getting tests and receiving my initial treatments. There have been complications and setbacks but most of the path forward they say can be outpatient and I can be at home recovering, I hope, as much as I can.
I am mostly beyond words as I face one of the biggest challenges of my life.
They don’t know exactly why it happens, but it does and luckily as I’ve been told, there are promising treatments.
I wanted to reach out to all of you my friends and colleagues to see if you would be able to help me with this GoFundMe for support for various expenses, bills and needs as I recover.
The last several years have been hard, I haven’t worked very much (just like many others). As everyone knows there are big changes still happening in the industry so my income stream has been very low.
I care very deeply about you all and the industry. Anything you can do to help me would be greatly greatly appreciated so I can continue to be here and be part of our community.
I’m motivated, fighting and I want to be here. With my partner, Cindy and your help, we will overcome these significant challenges.
Please consider donating to my cause and my recovery. Please pass this GoFundMe around for maximum exposure.
Thank you so much everyone!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Much love and respect to you all!
Our very, very Best,
Damon & Cindy
