I've been a member of this community for quite a while, since around 2001 really. I haven't posted much here in the past few years due to life events taking over, and once again this seems to be the case. I'm here because you guys were always a good community, and I've seen some pretty fantastic stuff happen for people who frequented here over the years...From Frank getting hired, Shishka etc...

I'm coming here asking for some help. Recently I found out my mom has been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, and as some of you may know; the survival rate for this disease is pretty crappy. She is a single mother of 3, and has lived a life of hell. Just to give you an idea....She's on chemo right now, sick as hell and STILL working 2 jobs to keep her house.

I've made a gofund me page, and I'm just trying to get the word out a little bit. I'm trying to raise enough money to send her to a resort for a few days, so she can relax and hopefully not stress; if only for a little while.

I know this is really off topic, but I'm hoping that compassion wins out here. Here is the page :http://www.gofundme.com/5d3rck It has her full story on it, and a link to donate.

Thank you for reading this guys, and ANY help is appreciated; even if it's only sharing the link.

You guys have been like a family to me for the past while, and I could use your help.
