Hi Permies,
It's my first participation in this forum. Still at the begining of the permaculture learning curve so I keep my self on learning ike a sponge wherever I can.
One of my great sources has been Matt Powers, because he share a lot (!!) of what he knows for free, in the form of articles, videos and even books (Permaculture Student series and more), it's all right there for everybody to learn. I really fell I owe to him a lot of my permaculture education.
Well, he's having a hard time right now (well, you can say it...again) and he's asking for a hand. Check it out, please.

Thanks,

So sorry to hear this news.
Matt has been an active member here sharing his knowledge https://permies.com/u/167402/Matt-Powers

He has spent much energy teaching, promoting permaculture curriculum and books for school children https://permies.com/t/93281/Permaculture-Education-Standards-Teacher-Guides

Maybe the link to his 'gofundme' site could be shared in a 'dailyish' email?  It sounds as though he and his family could use our help.

Ah man, he has Crohn's and she has cancer after cancer. That's just horrible. When my husband's Crohn's flared up, it was horrible. I keep using the word horrible, but there's no better word to describe the stress of his pain, the unknowing if he'd be better, constantly dealing with new developments in the disease and spending all day caring for him, the constant stress of more and more medical bills to try to find money for, and hours spent researching trying to find a cure. I cannot imagine Matt having that, while his wife has cancer.  it was hard enough when I was caring for my husband--at least I was relatively healthy. With both Matt and his wife sick, I just can't imagine the hardship.
