Hi Guys.

Just discovered recently that an Interpreter in the Pittsburgh area was brutally attacked and stabbed. http://www.wpxi.com/news/news/south-side-stabbing-victim-recovering-after-attack/np5RS/ He was one of the Interpreters at Anthrocon. The world's Largest convention for fans of Anthropomorphics. (animals with human characteristics for simplicity) Better known as Furries. While the number of Deaf Furs is rather small, I know that the Deaf community in general is a close nit group. So please help out and spread the word. Contribute if you can as he will be out of work for a while and has lots of medical bills. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=...nYhDd3V64JKQ3Ael8MTQ1MzMzNDA3OUAxNDUzMjQ3Njc5
Here is a video from the CEO of Anthrocon...

yeah, he is really fun guy, I chatted with him the first year they had the interprefurs and it was a lot of fun. The terps really didn't know what to expect but they really had a blast working the event.
I also got my local Furry con here in Reno https://www.biggestlittlefurcon.org/ to provide interpreters for the first time last year. That was a lot of fun because I am friends with the interpreters and one was actually my VR counselor too. We only have 8 full time Interpreters here in this area so pretty small world.

If anyone is interested in attending, Message me!! :wave:
 
"The ordeal has left him with a large number of hospital bills and he isn't sure yet what his insurance is willing to pay. " I find this as horrible as the crime , the guy is a victim and the insurance company is making him a victim of their greed ! I am glad he is recovering and I hope the SOB that stabbed him is found and locked up for good.
