Support Richard Orth's Fight for Health and Stability

Hi there,

My name is Richard Orth, better known to the internet as RECoyote. I used to make a good living as a truck driver, but one frozen winter's night I fell off my truck and totally destroyed my back, requiring spinal implants which then got infected and resulted in even further damage.

Today I can just barely walk, and an in constant pain of about 30 on a scale of 1 to 10, but I live with it because others depend on me, especially all my friends on Second Life and other internet communities.

On top of all that, I have diabetes and bad neuropathy. Oh, and the kidney and lung cancer isn't helping anything either. I have to see some 16 specialists, each of whom want a $35 co-pay. I own the local hospital over $1,300,000 that I will never be able to pay. And every day my situation starts to look more and more unsustainable.

I have applied for every bit of assistance I can get to keep things going, but I already have everything I'm eligible for, and it's not enough. Every month I have overdrafts and things just keep getting farther and farther behind. If this keeps up I risk losing my house, as well as my life on the internet. And, even being in as much pain as I am, I'm not ready to disappear from the world yet. So if anyone out there would like to help I'd be much appreciative.

I need extra $1,000 a month to survive. Anything you can contribute would surely help.
