Borrowing a Plea from Wikipedia

I'm borrowing this plea from Wikipedia: It's a little awkward, so we'll get straight to the point: We humbly ask you to defend Malecare's independence by donating at malecare.org/donate . The very first support for Gay Men and Prostate Cancer was started by a social worker, Darryl Mitteldorf (me), back in 1998. That innovation evolved into the national nonprofit called, Malecare. We depend on donations, but 99% of our community doesn't give. If everyone reading this gave $20 or 20 Euro's or 20 Pounds, we could keep Malecare thriving for years to come. Thousands of people visit Malecare.org and our online community here on HealthUnlocked each day, making it one of the most valuable spaces online for ad space. But if Malecare were commercial, it would be a great loss to the world; we'd be beholden to advertisers, not our readers. We'll never run ads, instead we humbly ask you to support the community of people bringing you unlimited access to reliable, neutral prostate cancer support and information. Please take a minute to help keep Malecare growing. Donate at malecare.org/donate Thank you. For non USA residents: Donate in US dollars via our secure credit card system and your donation will be charged in your local currency.

I just donated. The support people like you and Tall Allan provide people provide, not only for the newly diagnosed and frightened men, but for the men who are in a significant battle for their lives. I've appreciated blunt advice and it matches the best research I can find. Your compassion for all men, straight or gay is really major in this day and time. I will promise to become a regular donor. Thanks again.

Thank you! It's true....our community is life saving and life affirming. Let's hope that more from our Gay Men and Prostate Cancer community will donate at malecare.org/donate

I just donated as well. Giving accurate information and peer support, this site has helped me put fear and anxiety in the back seat of the bus and hand the steering wheel back to me. That alone is invaluable. Having a shared journey instead of an isolated one is as well. Thank you, Darryl, and to everyone here.
