Please, check this great cause and if you can support this campaign from composer Stephen Endelman.
http://www.gofundme.com/aboyamanandhiskite
Here is the basic info:
"My name is Stephen Endelman. I've spent the last 20 years writing music for films and television in Hollywood.
In 2009 whilst on a TV show for ABC and a movie for Gale Anne Hurd I got deathly sick and eventually found myself lying in a coma. My friends and family weren't sure if I would live, or if I did live, how I would recover. I did live and I recovered. After I recovered I began to question why'd I gotten so very sick. During that process I explored many healing modalities. As part of that process I composed three pieces of music, a short film, and a book. Together they explore the reason for my sickness and what I've learnt from my near death experience. This campaign is to raise money for the film. The short film explores the reason I believe I got sick, the abuse I suffered as a child and the way I repressed those feelings for almost 30 years. I want to inspire others to come forward and share their stories and confront their demons.
In June of 2009, I was very depressed and anxious as a result of years of repressing the abuse I suffered. I was wrongly diagnosed with MS and by November I was in a coma. I woke up three months later atrophied only to discover that I had a very rare form of brian cancer known as CNS Lymphoma. My stories are not tales of woe or misery. You see, I look at my sickness as a blessing, because I've been able to address what happened to me as child , and put it in perspective, and forgive myself.
Because of my many films and TV shows I have a unique perspective of how to create and deliver A Boy A Man and His Kite. I want to share with as many people as is possible that there is life after abuse which I feel lead to my cancer. I've gathered brilliant people to help me with this project. Please help me fund this so that others might be inspired to come forward and share their stories and confront their demons.
My mission is to reach as many people as possible and inspire them to believe that there is life after abuse and illness. In supporting this film you will be enabling the recovery of abused victims.
It is also my intention to donate a portion of any proceeds from the release of the film to RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network)."
