Ilya Leonov needs help · 4:48am Mar 28th, 2019
And it is urgent. Ilya, who has brilliantly performed a great many of the fandom's stories, is in need of immediate surgery. Unfortunately it is quite expensive, and he has not yet paid off his previous removal of cancerous tissue. As he explains:
I have been struggling to pay small amounts of the thousands of dollars I owe.
But now I face a new challenge. As a result of last year's surgery I have developed an incisional hernia which needs immediate surgery to repair. They will need to reopen the abdomen and insert a mesh to prevent it worsening. If this is not done soon I could face a life-threatening situation.
But my insurance is not that good and I will have to pay a 1400 dollar co-pay before they will even schedule the surgery. Needless to say that is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the total costs will be but I have to have at least that much to even begin the process.
Ilya needs us. Please spread this message around, and give whatever you can spare.
Sincerely,
H.V.
Done. Hope he gets better.
Ugh.
Thanks so much for the plug, H.V. Illya is a dear friend of mine.
