help an expat out

Just doing my humble part to spread the word about a 26-year-old expat named William Kapoun, who suffered burns over 70% of his body when his apartment building caught fire. Mike Hurt has a good post here; both the Marmot and Mike rightly encourage you-- us-- to contribute to this guy's medical care; his school apparently didn't give him any insurance, and his care is going to put him over $130,000 in the hole. Every little bit helps; I'm likely to wire him some money tomorrow. If you clicked the above link to Mike's blog, you'll have seen morbid "before" and "after" pics of William-- as a healthy 20-something, and then as a body on a gurney, wrapped mummy-style. The images are, especially when juxtaposed that way, painful to look at.
