A Thank you from (The Longest Journey's/Dreamfall's) April Ryan on behalf of Sarah Hamilton

Sarah Hamilton recently experienced some expensive medical issues and set up a page for accepting donations. It has been a rousing success and is near its goal but afaik is still accepting donations.

Times are tough and if one isn't able to contribute but would like to show support then consider "liking" her video.

Also consider watching her uplifting and inspiring series of videos!

It now looks like the level of donations might make it possible to cover her older bills for treatment of cancer and MS.

I'm so looking forward to hearing her voice acting again.

A blast from the past:

Had it for a while, then had to clear out my library for a move. I so miss my books. /sigh

I scored a first edition paperback of Babel-17 last year for six bucks. It's in respectable condition and I look forward to re-reading it.

It has the cover that wikipedia uses.

Sarah - I read your story on Eurogamer, and as a games developer, a massive fan of your work in The Longest Journey, and someone that still can't understand how your health and treatment relies on how much money you have in the bank, I wanted to support you. You'll hit your goal soon, and I hope your treatment goes well.
