RT from Untwisted Vortex told us yesterday about a rough patch he’s going through in A Possible Disappearing Act. In the comments that ensued, he was inundated with support, and with people telling him to put up a Paypal Donate button. He didn’t want to – he felt it would be like begging, but eventually gave in to the collective pressure of the Blogosphere. He posted this :The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done on the subject.

RT has been giving advice and blog shout-outs “forever”… I’ve been lucky enough to have been included in his “Blog Drive-By’s” a few times, and I do consider it an honor! He also happens to be running a very good blog/site. I’m happy to be part of the blogging community rallying round him in this difficult time… Please go and visit Untwisted Vortex, and help if you can. If not, verbal support is greatly appreciated too.
While you’re there, tell him to leave that button up, and not talk more nonsense of “having a limit”… Tell him to treat his wife (she’s sick) to something nice while he visits her in the US if he happens to be given more than he thought he’d need!!!

Stumble it!

What a nice post. I’ve already contributed to the cause. I just love R.T. and have for a very long time. He’s a great guy. :)

This is a great post! I am really hoping that RT gets enough money to help his wife and take the burden off of him and his family.

I’ll be donating all of my site’s donations for the next 30 days to RT, too, because he can definitely use our help! :)

It was truly amazing to see the power of social networking kick in on this one. RT is a great person and a huge contributor in the blogosphere. I am very happy to see that so many people pitched in to help. Over $3000 was generated to support his efforts.
