I feel like your society is broken when a child has to finance a vital surgery for a parent…
Orphan Crushing Machine…
America, where your kid has to be a meme to payfor life saving surgery. FrEdOm!
[removed]
Nothing to smile here. Just the US being the US.
I guess a poor person would have just died because fuck it.
But how did he made money?
YAY a meme is the only way a family can fund a life saving surgery thanks to the US being the only country without socialised healthcare because “scary communism.” frEdOM bABy 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸
This makes me sad. Child has to spend fortune earned as a younger child to save his dad from medical bankruptcy or death.
success kid completed the ultimate side quest
Orphan crushing machine core
“Healthcare system so broken, child had to sell their likeness out for money to fund a medically necessary surgery for a parent.” Fixed that for you
If only there was some kind of healthcare that was universal and provided to everyone regardless of wealth, popularity, or meme status. Oh, well. I guess it’s better to die waiting in the emergency room than worrying about how the government will pay for my medical bills. Better luck next time.
Good for them, but this is really an example of the us failure to provide healthcare for its citizens, not a feel-good story.
Well… it’s for free in Scandinavia.
Interesting, they are also the world’s happiest people, I wonder if there’s a connection?
Freedom to work to death or starve 🫡🇺🇸

hmm i remember him being much older now, much much older. mucho older gracias.
Shane Gillis has a kid?
How did he make money?
plot twist: he bought an organ on the black market
I’m glad they were able to raise the money, but this is so crazy that it would need to come to that. I have insurance, but I can’t afford the copays and the deductibles for my surgeries, tests, and chemo.
And it’s not like I’m not a contributing member to society. I used to make a lot of money and I did that for years, but that job killed me and I’ve since opted for a job in social work barely making over minimum wage to do case management for women in jail transitioning from jail to community in an effort to hope to help play a small part reducing the chance that they won’t recidiviate and so that the world can stay a little bit safer for them and for society.
I love my work, but I barely make ends meet. I absolutely can’t afford medical bills. I absolutely can’t afford to take time off. Just a few days after my mastectomy, I went back to work because I had to. My body wasn’t and still isn’t ready for it. I don’t know what I’ll do when it’s time for chemo in a few months. If I get on temporary disability (which would take months that I don’t have), I wouldn’t be able to make ends meet. If I stay working, I won’t be able to afford to take time off to recover from chemo infusions. Frankly, I’m terrified.
Lucky for me, I’ve learned to build a support network of peers and friends to help me manage my emotions, but maintaining positivity won’t keep me alive and won’t keep a roof over my head.
Ugh sorry for the verbal vomit, but it’s a scary world we live in when hard working Americans do the right things in life and still have to live in fear for their lives over medical bills and such imbalanced wage gaps.
Anyway, whine over. Thank god for compartmentalizing I guess. 🙂
Yeah we get it america, you dont give a shit about your own people, no need to show it as its a fkn success story when youre able to stay alive via unnecessary deeds.
Why do you need money for a kidney transplant? Do people sell them? Fuck! I just got “sell your kidney” for money.
i feel sad for americans. maybe this “fight oligarchs” thing will finally change things.
The weird thing is that this is 10 years old news.
This isn’t “Made me smile.” This is “Remind me of our messed up society.”
This isn’t “made me smile.” This is fucked.
Now a days I can’t live without wifi!!
This should be on the orphan crushing machine subreddit
Parents using their young children money.
Now that’s a successful kid
People who couldn’t have kids for one reason or another is f’ed.
This is old af. Success Kid is, like 20, now?
So glad I’ve got the NHS in England! Take my taxes please, very happy to have access to medical care unlike 3rd world countries.
This is one of the most dystopic stuff I have seen in my life
I’m too European to understand this. Paying for surgery?
When internet save life English skill still suck.
I very much doubt this true.
No way
That’s awesome 😎
From meme to miracle. Internet for the win!
