Kevin Lillard

I don't know how many people attending cons in the years past know Kevin Lillard and the website he had for anime cons. He attended as a photographer taking pictures of the many cosplaying at the cons.
He just recently on Facebook advised that he is living on the street in Indianapolis in his car.
A few years back he had suffered two heart attacks, one at a con and another after getting out the hospital.
He had been attending another con when he became discussed over the way he was treated by the con and closed all conections with anime cons.
I guess like most the work for what he was doing has dried up and left him where he is broke and on the street.
I would hope that most of the anime cons would think about helping some way.
Emily DeJesus is trying to get ahold of him to see what she and her husband can do and I figure a few more in the anime industry will help in some way.

What was the website? Is it not up anymore?

He took it down sometime ago when he stopped attending anime cons.
He can be reached on Facebook. I have learned that some in the anime industry have stepped in to help. I would hope he will find some work that get him back on his feet and maybe back to attending anime cons after the help he has gotten.

Kevin said on his Facebook site that he has gotten help from his firends to get rolling again and a place to stay. Any extra donations he has said to give to funds that need the money and hopes to to be doing better soon. Hopefully he will have something in the anime industry to go to for work.

The website was Fan's View but it is not working.
