From the GoFundMe page:
We write this with a heavy heart, but also an optimistic objective. Our friend and family member, Billy Pon, or as some of you know him as Director, Writer, and owner of DefCon 1 and Circus of the Dead Haunts, “Bloody Bill” is in the midst of a battle between life and death. He has been diagnosed with an aggressive stage 4 cancer that is rapidly endangering his very existence and severely limiting his quality of life. As most of you know, a while back, Billy took a leap of faith to pursue his dream of being a filmmaker, leaving him without insurance coverage. We have opened this GoFundMe account in order to accept donations towards the care and cure of this beloved man.
Billy has never turned his back on a friend nor stranger who was in need of his compassionate nature. He has been on the boards of nonprofits and not only contributed in a professional capacity, but in a personal one as well. As many of you know well, Billy has given his time, money, and wisdom to anyone in need, no matter how big or small. We’ve seen him give comfort and aid to strangers in car wrecks and give his last twenty to a homeless person just needing something to eat. His compassion for others and those in need knows no bounds. And now it is our time to return that generosity to him. Many love Billy as a husband, brother, son, uncle, and best friend. It is difficult to appropriately express our desire for his speedy recovery as well as remission of this horrible, undiscriminating disease. We are all looking forward to many more years of seeing Billy kicking ass and taking names. Please help or at the very least send your most positive prayers or thoughts to a very valuable human being and asset to us all. We deeply appreciate your love and support. Thank you.
On a personal note, helping someone with cancer means a lot to me, I love my wife who was 35 to brain cancer last year and I know how tough and expensive this can be. So think about that when reading about Billy Pon or when you watch his movies. Donating and sharing are both ways to help.
