I think right now the main roadblocks to a live chat feature are time and money ...... unfortunately, there is a lack of both. The more donations OCF receives, the more likely it is that a chat feature can be added in the future. But now, Brian has his hands full just garnering enough support to keep the website operating. He spends an enormous amount of time answering e-mails from cancer patients desperately seeking help and he also works tirelessly to see that oral cancer screenings become a routine part of every dental exam. Early detection is the key to a good survival rate and he is ceaseless in his efforts to get the word out to government officials (for new legislation), corporate entities (for donations), health personnel (for education) and common folks like you and me (to save a life). There aren't enough hours in the day for him to do all he has on his plate now. He just doesn't have the resources available, time or money wise, to add a live chat feature now.
