I normally do not make these posts on my fansites; however, Eric Bilitch posted on twitter of his friend (and a Marine veteran and person who was part of the Submarine Kid’s production) who is in need of help with medical bills.

Eric posted the following:

My friend and Marine veteran, Jon Barton, needs some help. If you enjoyed watching my film, The Submarine Kid, JB was our Military Advisor and the movie wouldn’t be possible without him. He is going through a rough time, and has had the balls to ask for help. Even $5 or $10 would mean a lot to me personally if you can spare it. B has given jobs and training to many returning vets, and I wouldn’t put this out there if I didn’t believe in him. Please help if you can.

You can donate to his gofundme and read about the accident that has left him in thousands of dollars of medical debt. Please, pass along the link if you can.
