Anyone who says they're a "community builder" but doesn't take into account the chronic illness folks (like me) is no community builder I want to be involved with no matter how much you say you want to donate. I don't owe anyone ANYTHING. I know I'm doing something good and positive for the community. My website traffic, newsletter, and social media tells me so. The folks reaching out saying thank you and get well soon say so.
