Peter David, legendary comics writer and novelist, is in some serious trouble with his health care, and needs our help. Suffering from a variety of ailments, he has now suffered the loss of his Medicaid disability coverage, yet his medical bills remain and threaten the well being of himself and his family. A GoFundMe campaign has been begun by Graham Murphy on his behalf of his wife Kathleen David. The goal is $150,000. At this writing, the fund has raised a bit over $93,000 of that goal. David is still in hospital, and will be there another few days.

His wife Kathleen reports that David is floored by the outpouring of love and support he has received.

Medical expenses are no joke, and the high cost of medical care threatens us all. If you can assist the Davids with a contribution, please do so.
