one of the guys in my “young notorious sinners” accountability group is jason hildebrand. jason lives in toronto, and is an actor who writes and performs one-man plays. most recently he’s been performing his “blue like jazz live” performance, based on donald miller’s bestselling book.

well, jason had an experience we would all love to avoid: he literally fought for his life against a flesh-eating disease. he’s been in the hospital for a month and is just not starting to recover at home after surgery.

of course, as a solo performer, jason’s family relies on his performances for their livelihood. and, with jason out of commission for a number of months, they’re going to be seriously hurting.

another one of the guys in our group — mark dowds — has set up a way for people to give money through a cool web 2.0 giving site called “give meaning”. what we need right now, though, are votes. in order for the project to receive canadian tax-deductable donation status (jason and the give meaning site are canadian), the project needs 100 votes on the give meaning site. i mean, if you’d like to give a little to help jason and his family, that would be wonderful. but if you could take a couple minutes to click through and “vote”, that would be fantastic! thanks. VOTE HERE.
