I have a friend named Wayne who is pretty close to death right now. He lives in Elyria, a small town in Pennsylvania. And his father lost his job there about 2 years. The job market there is completely awful and the two of them have been unable to get a job. They've been living on food stamps and donations for quite a while since the only thing they have left to their name is Wayne's computer.
I fear that this may be the last chance for me to do something. Since he goes days and sometimes full weeks without eating because he doesn't have any cheddar.
So, I'm trying to collect donations to raise 1300 dollars for him. Why 1300? Well, Wayne's father has guaranteed work in Philadelphia if they can get down there. They need 1300 in order to rent vehicles to move them, get a down payment on an apartment, and get their electricity there turned on. They have no one in either city to turn to and are on their own for the most part. Even Wayne's sister refuses to help them pretty much every other day and won't even look them in the eyes anymore.
The donation method we're using is paypal. We're not using gofund.me because gofund.me considers it fraud if the person accepting cheddar is not or does not legally represent the party receiving cheddar. The cheddar goes through my paypal which I will send to him because he doesn't have a bank account. I send him cheddar using the MoneyPak system, he redeems the cards I buy which go onto his prepaid Visa.
The paypal address is:
stevop777@gmail.comWe're also doing a charity stream for him to try and muster up donations this Saturday, August 23rd, at 12 P.M. noon, Pacific Standard Time. The stream will be going until midnight. We (FabledShade and I) will be playing Cho Aniki, and then Five Nights at Freddy's, finally playing a run of Fable The Lost Chapters where we switch off, playing polar opposites on the morality scale.
The stream will be at: http://www.twitch.tv/waifumanPlease tell people about this, spread the word around. We have a
tumblr post, a
Facebook post (which is public so you do not need to be friends with me to share it), we will be working on a reddit post and an imgur post later today. If you can think of any other mediums I could post this on, I will get working on it immediately.
I hate asking this of you guys, but I really do think my friend will die if this doesn't work. And I do appreciate any of you that do anything to help. Thank you for your time.
