Topic: Luckypan could need some help

Posted under Art Talk

As the title already hinted at, luckypan is currently having the problem of a total kidney failure and could use a new one for various reason, among those drawing more art for people to look at.

Friends of her have set up a Donation Drive on HelpHOPELive here and if you wish to also help her get better soon you could throw her something.

From the Donation Drive page

Nicole Dubois (aka Neolucky) is a 28 year old freelance illustrator from Alaska. In June of 2010, she was diagnosed with end stage renal failure quite suddenly, and has since been on dialysis. She's very active in online art communities such as Deviantart and seeks to continue her work after her kidney transplant. Her hobbies mostly include art, video gaming and comics, and much of her art can be seen frequently updated on her website - http://neolucky.com or http://neolucky.deviantart.com

Family and friends of Nicole Dubois are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. The cost of aftercare medicine and anti-rejection drugs will also be partially covered by this fund. Please think about donating today, your contribution will help!

Did I mention she draws porn?
Because she totally does.

Damn dude, that happened to my dad's bro when he was young. My next payday isn't until Monday but I hope a lot of people can be generous enough to lend a helping hand

Since money is being raised for the transplant, is there already an organ source lined up?

Rant. User Discretion Advised.

Because if not, it's a perfect example of why the "you can't buy organs" law thanks a whole fucking lot, Al Gore is crap. Even Iran's theocratic despots allow the buying and selling of organs, and the result is that, unlike my supposedly free-market country, Iran doesn't have a bunch of people dying on waiting lists for a kidney.

Thats why you just need to visit the black market . You can find anything you need there.

I recall tgweaver successfully raising $6000 from his fans last year to pay for urgent dental work, among other things. It's definitely possible to raise that kind of money.

Not to make light of luckypan's situation, I hope she gets better soon, but you're only going to get this kind of support from the community if you're popufur.

They asked us nicely and the thread didn't hurt anybody as far as I'm aware.
Go ask dave if you want to.

"Popufur" I..really hate that word.

"Popo" is a german word for butt so I simply assume they all made a typo and mean that they have nice asses.

It's a conflation of popular and furry... I don't get the hate?

Apathy isn't a strength. Just because you jack it to furry porn doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

Updated by anonymous

Some people don't like any furry-specific words I guess.

Maybe it's because "popufur" is used as an insult so often, implying that popularity has gone to someone's head.

How am I being a dick? I'm just observing that not everyone gets to have a successful fundraiser where their medical costs are paid by strangers. Luckypan has some popularity. People care about her, especially in this community. That's why we give money to her, and not to the millions of other people around the world in much more dire need.

I'm not saying it's wrong or right, but that's just the way things are. If you're not popular, or if people don't care about you, you get nothing.

Man, I don't know, kidney failure is pretty serious. =\

I think it's mostly because it just makes furries seem like pretentious assholes.

To be fair, this is what most of them become when given authority.
