Milabar is getting surgery
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. Many thanks to anyone who can contribute!

I just want to say, the heartfelt love and support I've had over the last year or so when I've randomly made remarks about it has been amazing, and I understand times are tough, so I just went to say this.
Thank you, Achaea, for being such a large part of my life. For years you've been the up and down of my mental sanity, but this community is amazing.
Thank you, everyone, that can help, be it prayers or otherwise. And I'll let people know how it goes this weekend, and hopefully be back to bothering everyone with my stubborn hatred of everything IC, soon.
Jessica / @Iloisee , thanks. You're the best
Achaea, you so Rock! Anything that's over the original amount will be going to my bills during the weeks of post surgery time.
Again, thank you all, so so much

Mila was able to schedule a withdrawal, though they say it could take several days to go through so we'll have to see if the timing works out. I'm leaving the campaign open for now for donations toward his post surgery expenses.
Thank you again Achaea for having this grumpy assholes back.
