Posting a comment here to let people know that when I first submitted, there was a write up included. Now it's mysteriously vanished.

This article is about a fellow deviant, , who is quite ill and in need of help. Let's reach deep into our hearts to help this man who is not only an amazing artist, but an equally amazing human being, who is always there for others, without once talking about how serious his own health problems are.

Read, let your heart guide you, and let's help Stormy the best we can!

That is terrible news...how awful.

This wonderful man deserves all the help he can get- thank you for posting this.

It's so sad that there are so many people who are very ill, even on DeviantART alone. People with cancer, autoimmune disorders and many other kinds of ailments. I have CFS and with the prevalence statistics I have estimated that there are at least 2,000 Deviants with CFS (and since it's estimated that up to 10% of people die with CFS you can see how many of them will succumb to the illness). Autoimmune illnesses (often very serious) affect about 5% of the population. If we could only help all of these people so that no one would have to suffer and/or end up in a financial crisis.
