My friend Neil is asking for the kind aid of the martial arts community on his journey:

I hold shifu Neil in high esteem. Please help him overcome his personal difficulties and find happiness again. He is a brilliant martial artist and a wonderful human being. Any donation would be helpful. The man recently got divorced and one of his collarbones was shattered just two weeks ago. He could use all the help he could get. I know this ain't about saving starving children in Africa or finding a cure for AIDS, but for me, beyond helping a friend, this is about supporting a soul on a path very similar to my own. I bet even sparing a dollar or two could buy him a meal on that trip, and even that means a lot.
