Stranger, I don't know who you are, but we surely need more people like you. People who'd do good things just because of that's who they are, and don't care if anyone knows about it.

Some on this forum can surely learn from this guy.

To you, awesome guy, my internet salute.

This is exactly what my mom had when she passed away. She had an autoimmune disease that struck her lungs. In the end she could hardly breathe. Her doctor put my mom on heavy doses of steroids. It worked but the side effects were nasty. It just tore down her immune system until she couldn't fight off infections. She finally passed away from sepsis.

Nice donor.
 
I'll be honest, this is one of my goals in life. I want to be rich enough to be able to give freely. Good waiter? $1k tip. Nice person I meet randomly? $100. Stuff like that.
 
Let me say this. I think it is great that this happened and I pray she gets past her illness.

I have to ask this how ever. She lives in Canada ( Kanata, Ontario ).
I thought they had the greatest Free Health Care in the world.
Why does she have to pay anything?
Why does she have to come to the USA to get the treatment?

Puzzling!

She has to pay because obviously the service is not offered in Canada.
She has to come to the USA to get the treatment because it isn't offered in Canada, but is offered in the USA.

Are you dense?

Contrary to popular belief, Canada has mediocre health care. My Uncle in BC comes to Seattle to get cancer treatment because ...
 
TBH, it's probably not that amazing if someone, like say, Bill Gates did it. A drop out the bucket, so to speak.

I don't think anyone has claimed Canada has the Best HC in the World. What we have is HC for all.

In this particular case, this is a new treatment and I suspect might still be experimental. Such treatments are not implemented into the system until they have a track record.
 
That's one hell of a dude to do that for a complete stranger, it's also another sad note on the state of healthcare, if you work for a small company or a cheap company (Walmart) you get squat for coverage. Big insurance Co's whittle down the price they will pay out to hospital and doctors you make up the difference by charging those without insurance 3X as much, what this country needs is to get rid of the Atena's, Cigna's who reap billions in profit form people, $$ that otherwise could go to taking care of sick people.

It goes beyond experimental/new treatment. It's waiting times for any treatment. In my Uncles case, his doctor wanted immediate treatment, and he could not get that without going out of the Canadian medical system. We are headed for the same system in the US.

how often do you have intercourse with yourself?

probably not enough.

I suggest you engage in this practice yet again, and soon.

Really? It's not amazing IF it's not a sufficiently large amount of someone's net worth? That's funny.

The donor got a bank draft for six figures, found out where the woman lived, then personally delivered an amount that hopefully will save her life while making a point to remain anonymous.

You don't know if it was a tiny fraction of the donor's wealth or if it was everything he had. It doesn't matter. He chose to do it for a stranger and that's amazing all day, every day in my book.

Out of curiosity how does this work? Treatments won't be paid for until they are proven but how are they proven if you can't pay for them?
 
See, this is how you do it. You do the right thing because it's right, not because you want a pat on the head. Here at ATOT we have douchebags that want a fucking parade just for reporting an accident.
 
so do we want wealth disparity so we can have benefactors and patrons? or do we want to tear them down, spread the wealth by taxing them into submission so people don't need to rely on charity for advanced medical procedures? im getting mixed messages here.
 
So, I'm going to be that guy - Great, a guy donated money so a woman could have a life-saving procedure. Well, thousands of people a year are living donors - giving a body part to save a life. Millions of people donate money to charity...anonymously, and even more donate their time to charitable events. I'm not sure how this guy is any different. Oh, I get it, his story got in the paper, just like those folks who leave huge tips.
