I am fighting cancer. I’m currently on chemo, and likely will be for months. The total cost of my treatment is high, and constantly rising, despite my having insurance.

If you want to help me cover cancer treatment costs, right now, the main way to offer your support is to purchase Like A Boss, a charity project that friends and colleagues within the game industry created to help pay my medical costs. You can pick it up here or here.
