I normally don't post threads like these, but this actually hits me personally.
So, on to the context of this.
Dan Coglan, also known as Samurai Dan, has had a dream of becoming a published author, and some time ago, he finally got word from a company that would help him achieve his dream. Well, long story short, him and his wife unfortunately became victims of a scam by said company. As a result, this setback has plunged them into debt. And now Dan is having to do something he would rather not do.
Dan is a good friend of mine. I was a student of his and he is one of the people I respect most in the world. His wife, Jillian is a riot and a very nice lady. Their son is wonderful as well. Anyway, I'm only posting this for the people here to get word out, in case anyone has gone to an anime convention that has hosted these wonderful people. I will post their Indigogo campaign at the bottom for people to copy and paste on Facebook to share and spread the word so they may be able to keep their lives as instructors and entertainers. If, and only if, anyone could help them out, there are donation incentives as well.
These good people do not deserve what has happened to them, and hopefully they can make it out safely.
