Cass explains: "Gene was made aware of the impending layoff [while he was still in the midst of his projects], and he has continued to volunteer his time since the layoff; he does about 30 hours of volunteer service to Twilight Wish each week and, in addition, we pay him a small consulting rate for 10 hours each week since then. Twilight Wish is beginning to see an increase in donations and sponsors in the past few months as people are recovering from the economic downturn, and it is our hope to be able to hire him back full time in the near future."
