Rich reached out to let us know that his recent health issues (his current diagnosis is autoimmune pancreatitis), and hospital stays, and inability to work have left him in a financial/health crisis.

The A-Hulls have voted unanimously to withdraw and send him $3,000 to help him out, and have told him to let us know if he needs more...

He is hopeful that this will be enough to get him through until he is healthy enough to return to work etc.

I have attached a screenshot showing the $3,000 I have withdrawn and will be sending via check to Rich, and another screenshot showing the current PIF PayPal balance of $11,292.34 (please note that approx. $1,500 of the $ in this account is earmarked for 2016 AOTY/DOTY awards that still need to be purchased so the actual PIF balance is approx. $9,792).

Please join me in wishing Rich a speedy and full recovery, and just let me know either on here or via PM if you want any additional info about the PIF PayPal details.

For newer members...this thread gives a description of what PIF is, where the $ has gone in the past, and how the A-Hulls evaluate each potential recipient...
