(Updated with the correct reason for the fundraiser.)
Fellow blogger Great American Satan is having a fundraiser to make cover lost wages during recovery. From the comments:
strictly speaking, the money isn’t for the procedure, it’s replacing lost wages from recovery time. don’t wanna sit upright 8 hrs a day, commute, and charge around on breaks with a stitched up gut.
I really like the stretch goal:
To make my bills less ouch, I’d like to fundraise. Here is the incentive: Donate at all, and you can choose a word I will rhyme in a rap. If five people choose orange, I’ll try to come up with five shitty sorta-rhymes for orange.
This will be strictly words on digital paper, maybe starting below and then compiled in a blog post, unless we reach goals. At $500, I will do an audio performance of the rap. At $600, I will do a video. These productions, if they happen, will be lo-fi as all hell, because I just don’t have the time for big effort.
Please consider helping out, if only to hear what rhymes with orange…
so far nobody’s requested orange! strictly speaking, the money isn’t for the procedure, it’s replacing lost wages from recovery time. don’t wanna sit upright 8 hrs a day, commute, and charge around on breaks with a stitched up gut. my insurance covers a lot, and what it doesn’t cover i usually find out about a month later & have some time to deal with it. i just about have my medical credit card paid down too (and ready to max out again haha).
think you’ll come up with incentivos for your own thing?
I added a correction, and we should be good.
i figured a comment was correction enough, but thanks. good luck!
