I wanted to share this.. I think we can all relate to many of this man's struggles. His honesty about them, as well as his ideas about creating resources to help others in similar situations, are refreshing and inspiring. Googling brought me here: http://weymouth.wickedlocal.com/article/20140812/NEWS/140819260/?Start=1 Which ultimately brought me here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1421495441/cutting-the-fat-with-a-knife-a-mans-surgical-weigh After talking to him, I can tell you he has an admirable capacity for empathy. In conjunction with a good idea, and the bravery to put yourself out there to try to make it happen.. it's hard to find anything but respect for Steve. If others in the past had been willing to do what he's doing, maybe none of us would even be on this forum today. Take 5 minutes to check out what he has to say.. Trust me. Just so nobody gets the wrong idea, I wanted to add that his surgery is not contingent upon the success of his 'kickstarter'. I felt like he didn't make this clear enough at first glance - but upon learning that the surgery is happening either way, I pledged him $150. He doesn't need our help to get his surgery - he's just going out of his way to try to help the rest of us as much as possible in the process. You've gotta root for the guy who puts himself out there and invests his time and energy towards that end. You shouldn't take my word for it and donate to his cause. I have posted his story here on your forum so that you can read and talk to him about what he's trying to accomplish here, then form your own opinion. I support it, so i'm speaking up and saying let's make it happen. -slim slow
