A Worthy Cause

Friends, I wish to bring to your attention a serious disease that affects seven people on a worldwide basis every fifty three years. The man in this photo (for the sake of anonimity we will call him "Jim Summerhill") has been suffering with a serious problem for many years now. You may have already looked upon the above photo and assumed it was some kind of joke, but would that it were. This picture, sadly, is an actual photo of "Jim Summerhill". See, "Jim Summerhill" suffers from hydrophobic mouthaphobia. In laymans terms, he has an extreme fear of the oral intake of water. Fortunately, doctors have been able to rig up a system so he is not without the water that his body so desperately needs, though it's far from perfect and water loss is a serious issue. In recent months doctors have tested a sleek new water tube system (shown below) which can be fitted to "Jim Summerhill" personally and allow him to live his life untethered to some huge unwieldy device, destined forever to be a nasal slobbering fool. Unfortunately, funds have dried up of late and "Jim Summerhill"'s insurance company refuses to pay for this new medical wonder. I would like to encourage those caring and giving souls on the internet to contribute in any way they can to "Jim Summerhill"'s situation. Even a kind word to "Jim Summerhill" can do wonders, but it's not gonna buy a new water tube system thing. We're not asking for your voice. We're asking for your money. Thank you.
