LOS ANGELES — Adult industry colleagues are rallying behind a GoFundMe campaign launched to assist Tim Lutz, the well-known community figure and co-founder of Cybersocket, with rising expenses as he battles a recent diagnosis of brain cancer.
"The discovery and removal of a glioblastoma tumor in his brain has just become part of his journey and he refuses to succumb to fear," notes the intro from the GoFundMe campaign page. "For the past 30 years of his life, Tim has been consciously implementing a mindset to elevate his frequency and learn how to enjoy a better quality of life. He has come to realize that when he exists in a pure state of Love, he serves a purpose. His purpose, to be Love, gives him the strong will to live a long, healthy and joyful life. Tim's plan is to not only survive but to also thrive."
Although Lutz has health insurance, his out-of-pocket medical costs and other expenses are rapidly rising.
"It has always been easier for me to give and difficult for me to ask for help. Thank you, in advance, to all of my Angels for your donations," he said. "I am humbled and grateful for all of you and appreciate your consideration, compassion, heartfelt kindness and loving hearts."
Cybersocket, the pioneering LGBT publisher Lutz co-founded with Morgan Sommer, celebrates its 25th anniversary in January 2022.
