GoFundMe for GoNorthwest's Medical Expenses

Mark Fleming is in need of our help. While his medical prognosis is excellent, he has $20,000 in medical bills that have not been covered by insurance. In fact, the oncology company insisted that he pay in advance before they would continue his chemotherapy treatments, so Mark was forced to put the cost on to credit cards. As you can imagine, this is quite the financial strain for him and his family. Has Mark helped you with an app project in the past? Have you used one of his How-To's? Mark has given so much to all of us and now is the time for us to give back to him. Here is a link to the GoFundMe account for Mark: http://www.gofundme.com/MarkFleming You can follow Mark's recovery on his blog: http://www.thunderstruck.com/ And we have a little website to show our support: http://gonorthwest.ninja/ Every little bit helps. Thank you so much for your support of Mark and his recovery!

Mark has literally saved all of us thousands of dollars in time, code, explanations, and so much more. A couple of dollars from each of us could ensure that Marks contributions to this community continue, and that's a gain for everyone. It doesn't have to be your life savings; any amount is a step in the direction we need to go. Just my 2¢ Cheers! -- Smug

Wow! I'm not even sure what to say here! This is such an amazing thing you guys are doing, and will have a HUGE impact on me and my family. The hardest part about this whole cancer thing has for sure been the financial aspect of it. It's CRAZY how much this stuff costs! And we even have super good insurance, but the issue has been the costs we've had to incur before that insurance kicks in. I will be FOREVER grateful for this amazing act of love. The Buzztouch community is like NO OTHER on the entire Internet. I love you guys (and gals!). Respectfully, Mark
