For anyone who is interested. Nearly all of the artwork created for the Chaos UT4/UE4 project over the last few years has come from Mike (aka thatscrawnykid). Apparently he was in a pretty bad car accident recently.

This page has information

Best of luck, Mike. It's not Chaos w/o you.

Posted as a tweet, and as an announcement in the UT99 discord
I have to put some money in the bank this week so I may have some I can spare, though I doubt it would be much.

Honestly, I've been unsure myself. About how far or how loud to share this. Was gonna ask you guys.

I already launched into spam mode.
Flak has already donated, and will promote from her accounts. She is also arranging something with the Epic team.

A few forums that also have a dedicated Chaos section also got a post.
I just did a post on the FB page now I am back in.

A very big thanks to Kajgue at OldUnreal.

Thanks Flay. I went ahead and posted up on Chaos Thread. I know it's difficult to decide how much of someone's life to post around the net, but the hard fact is, we need to get word out about the gofundme. I also will retweet flak's tweet.

holy carp. looks like gofundme charges a 15% service charge! everyone else seeing that too? i mean, wow, just wow. 15%? geez. just on principle alone makes me hesitant to give through that medium in future, though i will Totally do that for Mike. in the old testament, god only demanded 10% of the israelites. just sayin!

i went back to the donate page and seems there's a tipping system that defaults to 15%, so that's whats going on there. You can manually override to the amount you want. pretty ballsy of them to do it that way imo. i went through the form too fast and didn't notice it, and i'm sure they are counting on that. i recommend to all to bump that 'tip' down, unless you really want to pay that kind of service fee.

I wish I was around here at the time of this incident so I could contribute too. The pretty iffy move by GoFundMe though, they even did an article on it which gained a lot of traction.
