Hello everyone. A friend and co-worker of mine was just diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer. Medical expenses are going to be huge. I have created a GoFundMe site to donate to his cause. Each donation of $10 gets you 1 ticket for the drawing on Halloween Oct 31, 2016. Please place in comments of your donation "I Be Goblin" and I'll know to award raffle tickets to your donation. The drawing of course is for an official (unused) I BE GOBLIN boon from GENCON 2012. I hope this doesn't violate the use of boons or solicitation on this site.

I'll point some more friends your way.
Thank you Jessica, Abraham, and Graham. I have you entered for your raffle tickets.
Good luck to your friend. I work in the cancer care field, and I know how horrible such a diagnosis can be for the patient, as well as friends and family. I do hope that this alternative care physician is legitimate... it's hard to tell these days, unfortunately. In any case, this is a great use for a gob-boon.
Shared on FB> hope your friend gets well soon.
I'll have to throw some cash in there when I can. ^_^
I hope you raise loads of money and wish your friend the very best for his treatment. Is it ok to share the gofundme and raffle info elsewhere?

Cancer sucks. But, maybe a goblin alchemist yet to be played can help your friend beat it back.
Thank you Maxim, Ryan, Andrew, Yuri, Christopher, Janicein, and Brent. I have you all entered for raffle tickets. Has everyone been receiving my thank you's from the GoFundMe site? I choose the "Post to Facebook" option when I do. Which of course pops up on my Facebook site but do you also receive notification directly that I thanked you?
i received a thank you from the gofundme.
Sending out a signal boost and sending a donation your way! Best wishes!
I just sent out an email sharing this link that should reach all the lodges in my area. Sending your friend best wishes!
Donated, and this has been passed around on the local Pathfinder Facebook pages. Best wishes for your friend.
Shared in the NH/VT Mountain Lodge group on FB.
Best of luck. :)
Shared on the Central Indiana Lodge Facebook page.
Good luck to your friend and their family.
Donated, best of luck to your friend.
Part of me feels all boons should awarded in this fashion.
Donated as well. Best of luck to your friend.
Donated. I hope the best for your friend

I hope your friend is able to get the treatment that will give him many more years.

Donated.
What would be really great was if Paizo decided to provide the Goblin boon (or another rare boon) for those who donated a certain amount to this charity. We'd jump up the donations pretty quickly!
Donated and posted on the Georgia PFS boards to raise awareness.

I'll send this out to the PFS Community in Northern California.
If I have anything leftover from my tuition payment this month I'll donate as well.
Best of luck!
I will share this with everyone in my PFS community as well.
Thoughts and prayers for your friend!
Saw Angelo's posting on the Bay Area Pathfinder Society Facebook page, donated on behalf of me and my son.
Wishing your friend health and good fortune!
Donated.I think this was a get way to bring attention from this community. Best of luck in the fundraiser and best wishes to your friend.
A big thank you to everyone and now for an update. The site has raised $3,858.00 and an outside organization got together after seeing the site shared from somewhere and wrote a check out for $6,500 and sent it directly to a family member of Randy's. So I lowered the goal by that much to $21,500. We're making great progress. Now to update the thank you's here. Thank you William D, Richard R, Idaho B, Jacob S, Steven L, Tuukka K, Jerusha L, Russell L, Brandon S, Robert H, James A, Stephen I, Eric M, James M, Matt M, Gino M, Philip C, Tim G, Louis Manko L, Jeremy C, Kieran E, Chris R, Simon G, Rob F, Carlos O, Steven S, and Chris M.
Donated. Best of luck to you and yours!

We'd jump up the donations pretty quickly! That would cause a massive argument about 'pay to play'/'pay to win'. Some people are really touchy about getting stuff for paying more.
However, if Paizo were to donate a cool boon as a second raffle prize, that might also boost donations.

Update on the additional donors, drawing is coming up soon! Candace A, Landon H, Scott S, Christian R, Lucas S, Tammy H, Jim D, and Jay H! Good luck, four more days to the drawing.
I've thrown my donation in. I figured, why not, and wish him the best!
Payday came in time for me to pledge that little bit I couldn't last time. :)

Donated what I could. Just wish I could do more.
