Hello everyone,

Edmund McMillen, co-creator of such indie games as Meat Boy, Gish and the upcoming Super Meat Boy title for Nintendo's WiiWare downloadable service, had surgery on Sunday to remove an inflamed gallbladder. Although he is currently doing well and recovering from the surgery at home, I have seen some of his Facebook updates and found out that he does not have any insurance to cover this medical emergency. He has been asking for donations for assistance to help cover the medical costs and I asked him if it was okay for me to create a post with his PayPal information in case some people in the Destructoid community would care to assist and he agreed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Edmund McMillen a few weeks ago in Santa Cruz and he is genuinely a nice guy. So if you can, please show your support for Edmund and his family and donate what you can.

Thanks guys!
