The reporter found out about us because you Farkers emailed the newspaper about Brett's story. This was done because you cared enough about this little boy to help him. Thank you so much.

Also, we have raised about $30,000...in a week...thanks to Fark. Thank you so very much.

I mean we did make Wil the best dressed of the year with his clown sweater. :)

Glad we could do something useful for a change.

You guys have certainly done something useful here for our son. Thank you.

Putting out good thoughts, honey

If anyone would like to donate for Brett's treatment, here is the link:

More than happy to help, my friend.

*something in my eye* damn computer needs dusting.

Good luck to you & the family, Joe. Take care

Joe-

As a former kid with serious heath problems, I'm rooting for your son. Give him a hug for me.

Fark uses its power for good, and not just for awesome.

Best wishes to Joe&son.

You're very welcome, Joe. I think I speak for all of us when I say that it was the least we could do, hoping we could do more.

My thoughts are with Brett and all your family!


/Thanks for keeping us updated!

Healing & hope to you and yours!

Congrats on getting it in the paper!

We should keep trying this Yahoo Buzz thing.

Also, has anyone put this story on Digg yet?

Best wishes and good thoughts to you and your family.

Good Luck Joe.
Hang in there Brett!

Shane

Best of luck. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Glad to help.

Whoda thunk Fark would have a heart.

wow sometimes the power of fark is even more powerful than bacon.

good luck joe and family

Best wishes to the family, and hope all goes well!

joe8122:

I wish I wasn't totally poor right now because I'd like to donate, but I forwarded your site to a few friends of mine and hopefully they can do what I cannot. Your family is in my thoughts.

Joe,

Submitter to the Tuscaloosa News here. I originally emailed Ben Windham about his interest in it, and he passed it along to Stephanie Taylor "with a bullet." She and I traded emails the other day and she confirmed two things:

1) she was going to write the story
2) she is a Farker! I don't her handle, but the reporter for this story hangs out on Fark. Maybe she'll come forward.

I've also contacted the campus paper, the Crimson White, about this, and spoke with their director and assistant director (both friends of mine). Hopefully we'll generate some more news.

If anyone wants to help get this in the news, I would suggest starting with the New York Times, which happens to own the Tuscaloosa News and has used stories from it in the past. Imagine getting into the New York Times!

Joe, my wife and I cried the other day talking about the story, and we're making another contribution today. Keep up the faith, man. Roll Tide!

Dave B from UA HRC

The best thing farkers can do now is to keep spreading their story around the net and keep contacting the newsmedia. Let's get this done for this fellow farker.

/All the best and all the love from my little family

I love Fark.

sleeps in trees: *something in my eye* damn computer needs dusting.

yeah, same here.

Wow, this is great! I'm so proud to be a farker. I really hope you can raise enough money for this treatment.

Best of luck to the entire family.

I'm glad I got here before the naysaying trolls got around. Absolutely no class whatsoever.

It's disgusting to realize what kind of sick society we live in when the richest country in the world is indifferent to the suffering of its most helpless citizens unless there's money involved. Government should set up a fund for cases like this.

I sincerely hope you'll be able to raise enough money. I'll be sure to send a few bucks your way.

Wait.......Fark did something.....GOOD? Is that possible?

Well, I hope you and your son the best of luck. I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

oh well I spent my beer money on this last week, suppose I can do it once more!

/sent

I too will contribute again as of payday.

Joe8122,

You'll be getting my donation next week via snail mail. I just don't trust PayPal.

Good luck and good job to all of the other Farkers who donated.

w00t! I'm proud of you Farkers - well done.

We're with you, Joe!

Best of luck to you & the little dude. Do keep us posted.

/gave on Thursday, started a change jar to give some more

Your wife is hot!

$50 just sent your way, Joe. Take care, man.

joe8122: Joe

Best again to your family. Glad that a group that can't agree on anything can pull together when somethng real is on the line.

P.S. Don't quit your goal of Financial Planning. Take the classes.
