Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.
I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

@GossiTheDog sorry mate, that sucks so hard. sent in a donation.
I noticed a couple of replies mentioning struggling to get past the captcha - I ran into that too and it seems to be limited to mobile browsers. I've raised it with GoFundMe support, they're looking into it. so if you get folks saying "I want to donate but can't", desktop browser is the way to point them.
