New charity kunstrasen canvas, by Invaded 420 on Apr 7, 2014 16:29:23 GMT 1,
This one is for Jonathan... ____________________
Stencil on 30 x 24 cm canvas. Open edition. Signed and numbered on reverse.
____________________
The proceeds of of every sale will go to Jonathan...
Jonathan was diagnosed with Stage IV rectal cancer this past summer, with mets to his liver and lymph nodes, a devastating discovery that stunned both himself and his wife due to his young age and overall good health. Their focus went immediately into understanding his diagnosis and researching cancer centers, and initially thought they would be okay financially as he was paying for insurance through his job, but found out he was declined coverage for all of his treatments because they claimed it was a pre-existing condition.
With no other choice but to move forward (if they did nothing, he was only give a few months to live), he has been receiving chemotherapy infusions and in only 4 months, his out of pocket expenses rose to over $100,000. He still has 2 more infusions, 5 weeks of daily radiation, and finally, if the tumors shrink enough, will be a candidate for surgery. Unfortunately, Jonathan has not been able to work since June due to complications prior to his diagnosis and then due to side-effects during his current chemo sessions. They have no idea how they will pay for their past medical bills while still being able to afford rent, credit card payments, and other everyday expenses, as well as pay for the planned upcoming treatments on only one (unfortunately small) salary.
They are already fighting against the odds for survival with a Stage IV diagnosis, and I don't want to see the stress of money added to their already uphill battle. I am hoping this fundraiser will allow them to stay focused on beating the cancer and not on him rushing back to work in order to pay the bills. If you can, please share this page through the social media links found above and below this post. No amount is too small and anything you can give will go a long way in helping two very kind souls in the fight of their lives.
COMING SOON

New charity kunstrasen canvas, by kunstrasen on Apr 7, 2014 17:39:39 GMT 1, That is the one!
Cheers for already posting about the image Invaded 420.
Life is just built the way that at some point we all will depend on help to simply get along. This image is meant to bring that a bit into memory and is also a little of a humours nod towards Banksy's "Fragile" image with the ballet dancer...
Guess I'll make this available tonight but it is going to be an open edition so everyone who wants to help and likes the image will get a canvas...very good thing is that if you would like to help but think the artwork is rubbish then you can do so here: www.gofundme.com/forjonathan

I also agree you should bump the price up. Or follow the Radiohead "In Rainbows" price model. Pay whatever you want. I don't think anyone would short change you.

Yep, in the US...hopefully the insurance will cover from now on...certainly the money raised from this will be needed though for what already had to be paid for.
