The Keep Doug Hugging Fund

Donation protected
As most of you may know already,  the exceptional hugger and music improvisationalist Doug Koyama has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer that has decided to make a "temporary" home along his spine. He is in treatment now, and if you know him,  you know he is still giving out HUGE DOUG love and inspiring us all with his incredible positivity and light throughout this new journey.    Doug is one of the most generous loving souls I have ever met, and has given out so much love and hugs to literally thousands of people.  He lives simply, in his car, driving from gig to gig with so much appreciation and graciousness for his life and sharing his art.  He will have a long road of healing and recovery ahead of him and I wanted to start a funding campaign for him to make this journey a little easier on him,  to show him our support and to give back to him some of what he has given to our music community, and humans in general.... We love you Doug!   He does not know i decided to start this fund page, and I hope i haven't offended him with it.... Doug has expressed he wouldn't want charity,  so people can donate to his music here  if you prefer  https://dougkoyama.bandcamp.com/

Either way,  he will be supported in his healing journey and thankyou for your love !
