Give a Halloween Treat: Buy a 5-Year-Olds Monster Art, Treat His Leukemia

Bloody Disgusting Music editor Jonathan Barkan pointed us to this website that features “Aidan’s Monsters”. Aidan is a 5-year-old boy who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. He loves to draw and he loves monsters. The site was set up to sell some of his prints to raise money for his bills. You can buy here or read his entire story here. We send our prayers.
