I don't think he originally felt he was deserving of one, but after several fans started their own GFMs for him, he realized how many people's lives he has affected for the better.
It is incredibly heartening to see the outpouring of support for Steve. I hope this will be able to get him through a very rough stage in his life.
Go Fund Steve Mags
Thanks for posting that link. I wasn't aware he had opened a fundraiser but I'm glad he did. Hopefully he gets back on his feet quickly.
Here's his latest video with a link in the description. It's a different URL, probably due to the way GFM tracks everything, but same campaign.
Over $180k as of this post.

Delighted to see this.
216k sounds like a lot, and it is, but it's probably a fraction of his medical bills.

That's the sad truth, I tossed in a couple bucks.
The guys enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge is worth skipping a take out meal.
