    Sex work? Any work at all. That a story where someone raises enough money to pay for life saving treatment is seen as a feel-good story is really sad.

    Meanwhile, even in our crumbling NHS, I don’t have to worry about going into debt to pay for cancer treatment.

      I live in Spain, and in spite of paying a shitton of money in taxes, I can’t fathom changing that for a system like the US. Man, my SO is in dialysis, the amount of money we would need to spend for something like this in the US it would put us on the street right away.
