Dustin Harbin's Teeth and Face

[j.schwartz]

I was pleasantly surprised to see Grant's re-posting of Dustin Harbin's (dharbin) Op-Ed in the Times today as well as his Go Fund Me page

Dusty is an old friend of mine and one of the kindest, most charming, and talented people I know.

He a cartoonist and you can find his work here

He was in a bad bike wreck earlier in the summer which caused his lower jaw to break from the rest of his skull and is on the mend following treatment

He posted in the NY Times today about his experience being billed full price for his injuries due to lack of insurance and going to a Crowdfunding site to make that happen

Rivendell is crediting half of the dollar amounts to donations made to him.

Amazing.

Please consider donating

I will be happy to donate, but mad as heck that it is even needed. It is bad enough to have the bad fortune to have an accident. Our ability to get good care and not be dragged down by it forever should be a given.

Wow. I'm reading his stuff now. 

Really good. I kind of can't stop. If he ever comes out to the Bay Area again, i'd like to meet him.
