Hello.  Glad to be a part of the forum.  In short, a dear friend of mine and a lifelong gamer, horror/sci-fi fanboy, comic lover named Yoshi is unfortunately battling a terminal disease.  His last wish is to attend a ComiCon for the very first time.  His friends in Portland, OR are rallying around him...but we are looking for support from NYCC, too!  Please take a moment to see our event at :

and any information about the closest hotel, medical badges, sponsorship for help with airline tickets, or contacting NYCC is MOST APPRECIATED!

i don't know if he'd fit the parameters but it sounds as tho they might do a special case

On top what Alyssa posted, you find contact info for Reedpop staff here. I recommend most reaching out to Lance Fensterman, who runs NYCC and is a pretty cool guy:
