Donate to Matt's Journey: Healing and Comics

With your support, I can focus on healing from lymphoma while continuing to do what I love—teaching and publishing comics.

Hello, my name is Matt. I’m a middle school teacher currently undergoing treatment for lymphoma. Chemotherapy is going well, though I will also need a small lung procedure and I remain on a feeding tube.

While I’ll be receiving short-term disability, I’m worried about covering rent and debt during this time. Friends and family have been incredibly supportive with a meal train, but the financial uncertainty is still difficult.

I’m not asking out of desperation, but out of hope and honesty. Any contribution—large or small—would make a meaningful difference and help me focus on recovery with peace of mind.

Outside of teaching, I also run a small independent comic book publishing company, where I work on bringing Japanese comics into English. You can learn more about my work at www.starfruitbooks.com.

Thank you so much for reading, for your support, and for helping me move forward with strength and hope. ❤️
