As many of you know, my son was in an auto accident with a train back in August. He has still not regained consciousness, but is doing a little bit better each day.
As you may not realize, our short term insurance expired in September. The rest of the family could renew, but Matt became a pre-existing condition. So Matt's healthcare since that time has all been out of pocket. Vanderbilt Hospital was gracious to us and forgave our six figure debt to them. But Matt's ongoing care and future rehabilitation is still in the balance.
To help off-set these costs, several friends in the animation and comic world have put together an auction to start on January 21 on ebay. There are several prime pieces that have been donated. Go to www.helpthehodges.com to see more.
And thank you!

Wow, I had no idea the insurance company completely dropped Matt. That's awful.
The auction is looking great. Can't wait for it to start so I can place some bids!
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I heard about the auction for your family on Cartoon Brew. A friend I have known since high school is in a similar situation, and in a few weeks his insurance will drop him as well.
My thoughts are with your family, and hopefully some of my cash wil be soon - or I will at least drive the winning bidder other than myself up a considerable amount!
I emailed the info about the auction to artists here at IMD. Hope it brings some more bids for you all. You're in our thoughts and prayers!
