Milabar's Surgery Fund

Edit: Wow guys. Goal reached! I am leaving this open so that anyone who wants to contribute to post-surgery expenses while he's out of work can still do so, and making arrangements for the transfer of funds today. I'll update when that happens.


You might know that Shawn (Milabar) has been battling cancer for a while now, and possibly don't know that it's been a bit of a struggle for him to afford it, while continuing to work during treatment. He's been managing but recently found out he's at the point where surgery is a viable option for him, giving him a solid chance of kicking the cancer's ass for good.

During this last conversation with his doctor he also found out they can get him in ridiculously soon (this weekend, 5/17) which means avoiding the typical months-long waiting period for this kind of surgery. 

However they require his portion of the copayment up front and he is roughly $1100 short of the total $2250 due. 

Surgery six or more months down the road is still an option if he can't afford it now, but it would be a shame not to do everything possible to get this opening.

So, I (with his permission!) am putting this out there via GoFundMe to give the Achaea community the option of chipping in toward his surgery costs. 

If more than the $1100 is collected it will go to post-surgery recovery costs and his children's expenses for the time he is out of work.

Many thanks to anyone who can contribute!
