Dear all, this was written by my sister's friend's friend. We're sending out monetary contributions. If you can help, please help! Thanks <3

> A plea for help. Please...
Thank you everyone who has helped to link this up and helped in his fund. We all really appreciate it and it's very moving to receive support despite the fact that many of you are financially tight at the moment. If anything, it brings Kit's family and friends a glimmer of hope.

Please keep passing the word around though, we need as many prayers and contributions as we can get. Thank you all and take care. If this experience has taught me anything, it is that everyone should be insured so please go sign up for a policy ASAP. I can even recommend my brother to be your advisor if need be. (Not meant to be funny, but I'm actually serious about the importance of being insured. One will never know when he/she will need it.) Thank you once again and please take care of yourselves as well.

Everyone will probably think I have a lot of gall to ask this but...

We need money to help Kit out.

Apparently he's not insured, his mum is not earning enough to even pay a fraction of what the bill would come up to, and he has to stay in ICU for a month at least. A night's stay in ICU costs about $2000-$3000. We still have to bear in mind that he may need surgery in the worst case scenerio (we all hope that won't happen), so yes, we are talking about a lot of money here. He's got serious brain damage and the impact of the crash affected both the front and back of his brain since he hit the front overhead compartment on full impact and was whipped back by the seatbelt and slammed back into the passenger seat. When I saw my friend who carried him out of the vehicle, his clothes were covered in blood. It's all very nerve-wrecking. And it's all very serious. And I am willing to shake off my pride to thick-skinnedly ask if anyone and everyone out there is able to help him monetarily. Please.

Well, I reckon if people like XiaXue can happily happily ask people to give her some money for her birthday (or was it some gadget?) and people actually DID transfer money into her bank account... then maybe people would be more receptive to a needy (and I DO mean needy, not selfish, not materialistic, not narcissistic and not wealth-inducing) cause. Granted the chances of anyone replying to this is slim, SIBEI dead slim and I'm not one to beg for money, but my friend needs support and his mum is really really in need of as much help as she can get. She's looking more frail each day (and it's only day 2, mind you), can't eat, can't sleep well and is looking so pale and worn.

Damn it. I feel so annoyed now about the whole people giving money to xiaxue thing. I fucking wish I'd won the Asian Blog Awards now so that my friend who's lying in the fucking hospital can get help from the millions of people who might have read this blog and sympathised. If just a quarter of a million readers decided to help with 5-10 bucks each, Kit's mum's load would be relieved significantly. So what now? Should I go get plastic surgery? Put up nude photos? Photoshop myself? Flame other people? What? Is narcissism and back-stabbing and hypocrisy and bimboticness and beauty the sure-fire way to get gallons and gallons of money? And without doing anything good or special! Just create a scandal and you're on your way to fame and fortune? What happened to talent and sincerity?

(Though I have to admit, sincerity never got anyone far. Not me, at least. Except it got me Rene because he's an angel.)

Sorry for digressing. I'm just so angry at the unfairness of the situations. Those stupid bloggers were NOT paid for just causes, they were NOT paid for doing SOMETHING like WORK. I want them to donate all their money which they did NOT earn but merely receive, and donate it to Kit's medical fund.

Ha. If only.

Anyway, I know most people will get all uncomfortable about this and think I'm making a useless plea but I reckon if so many people can donate $5, $10, $50, $100 and more to NKF.. to people they may never actually get to see (they don't even get so close as to be an acquaintance of the victims' friends' friends' friends man), surely some of those people may be kind enough to help out here - in an extremely 100%, real-life, if-you-want-I-can-bring-you-go-see-him-at-the-hospital scenario.

This is my request for now. I understand if you are financially unable to help, and most people would probably rather part with their money for material goods, but give me some time to work on that. I haven't figured out how to make jewellery, or paint photoframes or do anything worth selling yet. Once I find something that I can offer as a good, all of the proceeds will be given to Kit's family.

I hope you will help spread the word through this entry and tell people about his situation and really give him as much support as possible.

Anyone who's willing to help in some way or other please contact me or email me at rainia13@gmail.com. I promise you I won't take the money for my own use and if you want to, I can get Kit's good buddies to take the money straight from you without my intervention. I'd include Kit's mum but she's really distraught and should not be disturbed.

In the meantime, please keep the prayers coming cos Kit and his mum really need them.
