| Campaign is ending on the 15th. I want to thank everyone for all their support during this time!!! Words fail me to express how much gratitude I have for everyone here and in the extended comic book collecting community. Thanks to you all, the funds will make a HUGE dent in my bills and possibly will be able to pay it all. This will be a huge burden lifted from my shoulders. This would not have been possible without this great community of collectors!!!! We truly do have a brotherhood and sisterhood!!!! Peace out, Jesse |

| Being a bit of news hound can sometimes be trying and can colour ones perception on society in general. Then there are moments like this that combat that perception. I'm proud to be a part of this CBCS community. Let's try and hit that goal!!! | ||

| HI Jesse, I'm sorry for your situation, but at the very least it shows that we can set our differences aside and do better as a group. I'm glad to be part of a community that cares about a fellow human being that most of us don't know personally. Hang in there Jesse. |

| I have been making a small donation each month (tight budget) since this started and I normally wouldn't make one now as I have already made one for this month. Since this campaign is coming to an end soon, I wanted to do what I could to help Jesse and make one final donation to the cause. and to bump this thread one more time as we are near the home stretch. Glad to be part of such a caring group. God bless all of you that donated financially and even those that wanted to but for whatever reason were unable to. | ||

| I have an update for everyone. The GoFundMe ended on August 15th with a grand total of $8,300 raised!!! As of right now, ALL of my medical bills have been paid except for one. That one actually arrived during the campaign. It was from 2020. I called them and they are running it through the state insurance which SHOULD cover it. If it doesn't get paid by the state, there is enough gofundme funds to cover it!!! So, at the end of the day, everything will be taken care of and I will have a few hundred left over for future medical bills. This money is in a separate checking account designated for just medical bills. This actually all happened last week. To be honest, I wasn't sure how to react. It is such a load off my mind that I still haven't fully processed it yet. The comic book collecting community, especially the CBCS Forum, really rallied around me and came through!!! I owe a debt of gratitude to Steve Borock for suggesting this to me when I ended up in the hospital in October, 2019. It took me until the spring of 2021 to take him up on his offer. Sometimes, a person needs to ask for help. This was an incredible, humbling and reaffirming thing to go through. People that I only know virtually stepped up and offered financial and emotional support. I received many messages of encouragement and even a few phone calls. The impact all of this has had on me cannot be measured in just dollars and cents. All of you REALLY came through for me!! I tried to keep track of everyone that helped out and failed miserably. Some people gave anonymously and some people on the forum I do not know their real names. I do want to thank those that sold comics or slabs and donated a portion or all of the proceeds to my campaign. I hope I get all of them and apologize if I miss anyone. I tried to keep track as the sales happened. Those members are; HeinzDad, Scifinator, EbayMafia and Bronte. Flanders not only sold some of his own comics, but he also sold comics for Steve Sibra and HotKeyComics and donated the proceeds. And of course, MANY members here gave money from their own pockets to help me!!! I can't THANK ALL of you enough!!! I have always been proud to be a member of the CBCS community. I've been committed to helping this company grow and help in any little way I can since I first met Steve Borock online. He is a class act and wanted to make CBCS a class act also. He really and truly loves the comic book community!! And while things have never been perfect for CBCS, I know that it is not for a lack of dedication. So, helping to moderate the forum has been something that I take seriously. Doing that with Steve Ricketts, The_Watcher and others, has been great!!! I could go on, but I'm a hunt and peck typer and have been at this for over a half hour. LOL!! Just know that I am thankful everyday for each and every one of you, even those I have occasionally had to moderate. I believe we have the best comic book forum as far as community and kinship goes. I have many brothers and sisters here. Peace Out, Jesse PS - I will be doing an update on the gofundme page later this week. I wanted to thank everyone here first because the VAST majority of the support came from this group!!! |
