Today The Chive posted a story about Taylor to their fan base (several million people). Within two hours we have raised $50,000 for Taylor! TWO HOURS!
This is an awesome story written, awesome American people giving their money to Taylor to help with his recovery! Check out the story:

Hell we've collected so much money meow they'll build a chain of cabins. And since they won't be living in all of those cabins of course they'll rent out the rest at insane prices since hey, there'll be plenty of demand. Tenants soon won't be able to pay the rent and mr. Morris will have to get medieval on their asses…
We've created a monster… just wait and see…
good stuff paula
Hey Brother,

You gave so much, Taylor. Here is a little in return. KCCO!
Taylor, you are an inspiration to so many. You are a true American hero. Thank you for sacrificing so much for your country. Words cannot express my gratitude. Donation made, wish it could be more. KCCO
As has already been said countless times, our donation does not come close to representing the amount of respect and gratitude my husband (former U.S.M.C., ALWAYS U.S.M.C.) and I have for you. Stay strong Taylor. KCCO.
KCCO Taylor and Danielle. That new cabin better make the DAR
aka: MAGSGQ
This is Trampass and Bridget Gilbert we are from Georgia and my husband Trampass works with Taylor’s dad in Pensacola, Fla. Trampass is an electrician and he said he wants to wire Taylor and Danielle’s cabin for them. He wants to do it himself and wants Taylor to have all the best shit in the cabin so Taylor will not have to worry about a thing! So need to worry about getting the cabin wired it is taken care of when the time comes.
Taylor you are a true American Hero. Thank you for your courage and bravery in keeping the United States safe. We wish you the best in your recovery and keep the motivation that you have always. You have a truly remarkable family that will always be by your side and that is a wonderful gift.
Trampass and Bridget Gilbert
Kcco best wishes to you and your family, Kuna Idaho.
KCCO and Bravo Zulu! Thank you once again for your service! God Bless and get healed up Taylor!
KCCO from Oregon. Quick healing and enjoy that cabin!
I am a Chivette who just made my donation, Taylor your hardships, patriotism and bravery bring tears to my eyes. I am an RN in an urban ER and we are notorious for being a bunch of hard a**es, but after sharing your story with co-workers there were tears all around- and a lot of requests on how to donate. Thank you for your service and your strength. I hope those Nurses are taking good care of you and you can get home to your cabin soon. KCCO.

KCCO Taylor and Danielle! Taylor you are an inspiration and Danielle, your strength for your man is astounding!
so proud to be a chiver and to have helped taylor and his family in any small way…
keep calm and chive on! taylor! you are a true inspiration, and an honest-to-god hero.
Hey shipmate. Found about you and just had to help out.
As you are aware so many others have given more than limbs. I hope you don’t let any guilt-based feelings of being singled out while so many of our wounded brothers and sisters also soldier on in relative anonymity. YOU earned our respect and admiration as well. Besides a direct donation to you I’ve decided to go to the VA and see how I can help others. Thanks for showing me what really matters.
Fair winds brother;
AW1 (Ret)
You are an inspiration!
Sincerely from one vet to another.
God Bless to you & your family!

Enjoy the Cabin, you deserve it…. Thanks for your service..
KCCO
Taylor- saw your story on the Chive. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude about life and what you still want to accomplish even after what happend is nothing short of inspiring. Reading your story I couldn't help but think of a few people I care for- my cousin is a 2 tour Iraq/Afghanistan Special Forces captain, one of my best friends is a 2 tour Iraq Army vet, and another is a 2nd lieutenant in the Marines. In honor of them and support of you, I donated immediately. Wish the very best for you and your family. Enjoy that cabin on the lake.
KCCO.
Words cannot express the gratitude that the world has for you. I wish you the best of luck and hope you are Keeping Calm and Chiving On in your cabin soon!
Thank you for all that you have sacrificed! We will never be able to truly repay you for your service. We are able to live the way we do because of people like you. My prayers are with you and your family. KCCO

KCCO Taylor. thank you for your service.
Life goes on. Life finds a way.
Donation from South Africa, the world needs way more people like you willing to take control of evil.
ugh, Chivers have a way of always disappointing you. John only asked them for a down payment, and what do those asshats do? They pay for the whole f*cking cabin!
But seriously: Be sure to enjoy the hell out of it guys!
There are no words to describe how selfless you are. My little brother is at basic training for the army right now and I couldn’t be more proud to know he is serving (as well as many of my friends) with tremendous men and women like you who are willing to risk your life for my freedom. The least I can do is donate and help give you what you deserve. I have never felt more proud to be an American. Thank you for all you have done
KCCO

Thank you very much for your service Taylor, words and money alone can not describe the amount of gratitude I have for your service and your sacrifice! You truly are an American hero! Keep calm and Chive on!!
KCCO Taylor! I think I speak for many when I say we hope to see many updates on your recovery and updates on the progress of your cabin! Your not just another story, You're a real hero!
Glad to help with this gesture that is small compared to your service and sacrifice.
KCCO
KCCO from Austin TX… You’re in the Chiver brotherhood now.
Another Chiver checking in.
Taylor, there’s no way we can repay you for everything you have done in the name of freedom and what’s right. It’s people like you that make me proud to call myself not just American, but human.
Amazing story. God bless you, sir, and I wish you continued success in your recovery. KCCO from Philly.

Add one more Chiver! I was incredibly moved by your sacrifice and the courage you’ve displayed. You may be proud to an American. I so happy to be able to help out, albeit in a small way. No amount of money can repay you for what you’ve sacrificed but I know you’re overcome the challenges that face you.
KCCO!
Chiver here, Thank you and enjoy your cabin.
Thank you for your service! KCCO!
From one proud Army Mama to one amazing Navy son… God bless you, kid – and a special nod to your parents, because I know what it’s like to dread the day you may hear news like this. Your story is inspirational, and I’m glad to see that all the Chivers out there stepped up… enjoy your new home!! KCCO!

Sailor and a Chiver here to donate, KCCO Taylor. We’ll never forget your sacrifice.

You are an inspiration to all.

Keep Calm and CHIVE ON ALWAYS! Praying for you and your family.

Taylor,
Though not an American, I have a deep and abiding affection for the USA.
I thank you for your service and sacrifice.
You are a hero and a true inspiration to so many.

Ensure that you love every day and are eternally thankful to those that have stood by you (your girlfriend, your parents, your mates ect ect). The chive and all their loyal pupils are behind you.

KCCO, I guess I can't really talk crap about the Navy now. That or Just not the EOD, Seals, SAR and Corpsmen
Stay strong, wishing you the best brother from a thankful Airman in Afghanistan.
Best wishes for a happily-ever-after, Taylor. KCCO!
You are truly a great American hero! Hope my modest donation can help you in some way. Anyone else who sees this should also donate even if it's only $1.00.
KCCO
Thank you for your service. May this give you at least a small measure of peace. KCCO!

Correction not only super Awesome American people, Europe, African all over we are all chivers and Taylor Inspired us all reading his story.
Keep Calm & Chive On!
Canadian Chiver here.
It’s brave guys like you that make me wish I was from the US.
Good luck, sir. Its going to be a long road, but you’re not walking alone.
KCCO! Donated!
God bless you for your service. Enjoy the cabin and Chive on!
I am stunned and humbled by not only what Taylor has done with his EOD work but also (after reading this blog) The willingness of all the family members to immediately assume the critical role of Caregiver.
A few years back I had the opportunity to spend a year volunteering at Bethesda and subsequently spent a good deal of time up on 7 West. It never ceased to amaze me the raw emotions that permeated the air to the point of being palpable… strength, honor, commitment, pride, loyalty….
I truly hope that you continue to share this blog and your story, not only because I feel it is hugely cathartic and thus an instrument of healing… but also… I think it shines a much deserved light on the young men and women who serve their country as Corpsman, Drs, RNs, PTs, and OTs (civilian and active duty).
Thank you for sharing this with us…. oh an KCCO!
One Vet to another,
KCCO
KCCO! Thank for your service and everything you have done. I can’t buy you beers, so the donation will have to do!
so awesome. I love the chive and chivers. I'm so glad we could help you guys out. KCCO!
KCCO from Alberta Canada Taylor!!!
I too donated to Taylor and his family after reading his story on the chive. Thank you for your bravery and service…KCCO!
Wishing you a quick recovery and many years of happiness in your cabin. KCCO!
Chive on brother.. i’ll bring the beers when you move in to your new cabin.
Words cannot describe the depth of my gratitude for your service, and all servicemen fighting for freedom and peace. The time, energy and sacrifice expected of our servicemen and women is enormous. We as Chivers acknowledge this sacrifice, and I am sure we all wish we could do more, not only for you, but for all of our fighting men and women.
Faith in humanity restored!!!
Fellow Iowa Chiver
Thank you for your service it is the men and women like you who make our Nation great! KCCO!
KCCO from Canada, sir. Like another poster said the donations are global!
Thank you for your service! You are a true inspiration!
KCCO Buddy,
I have a friend who is a double amputee. He won’t let that keep him away from reaching his goals and I know you won’t either. Chive nation is the best, enjoy the cabin.
Thank you for the service from a Canadian Chiver.
My donation is nothing compared to what you have donated to our country. I hope my donation and the chivers donation not only builds a down payment – but the entire cabin. Stay strong, be amazing – because that is what you are. Thank you. KCCO!
You are an amazing person Taylor, have a quick recovery and KCCO!

I’m also a Chiver that donated. It’s easy to forget that the freedom we enjoy comes at a very high cost.
We can’t replace what was lost. But we sure as hell can help with Taylor’s future.
Better start looking at cabin designs, buddy. And thank you for your service. It is neither forgotten nor taken for granted.
Taylor you are the definition of ‘brave’ and ‘hero’. I’m proud to donate what I can and I’ve never been prouder to be a Chiver. You KCCO brother!!!
