GoFundMe for Chin says Brendan Schaub gives him no health care

A GoFundMe for Chin Su Yi is circulating in r/TheoVon, and the pitch takes a swing at his boss on the way past.

The post says Chin is having surgery and will not be able to work while he recovers. It then says he needs the money because "his employer Brendan Shaub does not provide health care and is not in the financial position to help him out in this hard time." The organizer asks people to share it to help with what the post calls exorbitant medical bills, and says 100% of all donations will be going to Chin.

That is the whole of what is on the record. The fundraiser is titled Support Chin Su Yi During Recovery, and the organizer writes that they started it themselves and would appreciate shares or donations. There is no detail in the post about what the surgery is, how long the recovery runs, or what the target number is.

What is a claim and what is a fact

The health care line is the part people are passing around, and it is worth being precise about it. It is the organizer's characterization of Brendan Schaub's arrangement with Chin. Schaub has not said anything about it publicly. Neither has Chin, at least not in anything attached to the page. So this is one person's framing of someone else's employment, posted on a fundraising page, and it should be read that way until one of the two men involved says otherwise.

The other thing the post does not do is explain the connection, which tells you who it was written for. Chin is known to the audience that already follows this corner of the podcast world, which is why a fundraiser for him lands in a Theo Von subreddit without needing an introduction.

If you want the page itself, the organizer linked it in the post. Everything else here, including any response from Schaub, does not exist yet.
