ICKITY ACKITY OOP... it's yours

I’m afraid I have some very bad news to report:

Site founder of Laughing Asians & MaleFeetAndTickling webmaster, producer, moderator, and our very own TickleDad is in crisis and needs our help now!

After living in the Philippines with his partner for over a decade, TickleDad was arrested and taken into custody just over a week ago for overstaying his visa, and is being detained in dismal conditions which are eroding his health and endangering his life.

Mike and his partner Ricky have been together for fourteen years, but can’t marry in the Philippines, as same-sex relationships are not recognized there. That’s why Mike hasn’t been able to get legal residency.

A crackdown on overstayed visas is a recent policy change due to a change in government,  for which Mike and Ricky were unprepared. For over a decade they lived happily in the Philippines without a problem, with no threat from law enforcement.

Mike’s health is in grave danger due to his medical condition, lack of access to appropriate care while he is imprisoned, and his dwindling supply of medicine for the seizures he is having.

Mike and Ricky have insufficient funds for the mess they’re now in. They’ve given of themselves and devoted a big part of their lives to help build the MaleFeetAndTickling community, from which all users of the site have benefited.

Now is the time to show how much Mike and this community means to you. We’ve started a campaign, the “TickleDad Emergency Medical & Legal Aid Fund”, with a target to collect $2,500 in the next few weeks. I have contributed the first $200 so that Mike can get the medicine he desperately needs; and I will give more as soon as I can. Other members have already started contributing.

You can donate through MFM’s “Support Us” page at https://malefeetandtickling.com/pages/be-a-supporter. Ricky will get the funds to where they are needed most.

If you are not a member of MaleFeetAndTickling, you can still make a contribution through PayPal using this link: https://www.paypal.com/xclick/[email protected]. When the PayPal Checkout page pops up, enter Medical and Legal Funding the “Description” field, and the amount you want to donate in the “Price per item” field.
