Night Five: An American who needs help in Seoul
This is totally unrelated to our A/H1N1 quarantine, but since so many wonderful and kind people have been visiting this site recently, sending emails and asking how you could help, please do what you can to help someone who’s in a truly desperate situation far worse than ours.

An except:
You may have seen Matt perform with the Seoul City Improv group, and he was teaching in Korea for three years. In short, he needs an operation on his leg or else he faces amputation or worse, and he will be evicted from Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital unless he can raise the necessary ten million won ($7900 US)*
I don’t know how valid this is, and I can’t go to an ATM to donate to the linked account since I’m in bloody quarantine, but there’s a Facebook support group set up for this poor dude. We joke and bitch about being locked inside for a week or two, but this guy actually faces losing his leg or worse. Please consider doing anything you can.
*1 USD = 1,269 won.
