You might've seen this going around on discord if you play in Guldorand, and GrumpyCat was so kind as to provide approval to have this posted to the general Arelith community. Obligatory notice to get approval before putting something like this up, please.

I could write up something grand and eloquent but I think these heartfelt words from Jacob Swift's player say more than I ever could. I will be posting this both here and in the official Discord. Please discuss and share.
There have been significant contributions so far, and we're over halfway to helping Adam and his wife through this. I've known him OOC for years, met on Arelith, and all I can say is if anyone deserves this charity and aid, it's him.EdwardTank: Adam is currently looking for 2.5k to avoid being made homeless. My thoughts were we ask people who know him. unofficial Guldy, Arelith, etc.
I was trying to write up something that best put forwards what was going on, and how someone could help, if need be.
This is the writeup I got half completed to Lansert before I realized I needed assistance in figuring out what to do.
Hey. I have a question to ask.
You know Ghosts_abyss?
played Kazen, Victor?
He's really in need of some help right now. It's a long story, but he's in danger of being made homeless.
He's disabled, unable to work, and immunocompromised. I don't know how to help him other than asking for help while he tries and gets everything sorted.
He needs about two thousand five hundred to have a place to stay.
Would it be ok if we set up some sort of announcement thing on the Unofficial Guldy?
Some information from Adam himself on the situation:
And an update from him on the GFM page:Adam: "I have Stage One Congestive Heart Failure. Basically, we have valves in our heart that controls our flow of blood. The main valve; the left ventricle, is supposed to operate at roughly 70-80% efficiency to be considered healthy. Mine is operating at 13%, and I'm stuck on medication the rest of my life. Doctors haven't allowed me to physically work in seven years due to the risks exertion causes to my health. With Covid, going outside is exceedingly dangerous for me, because I already spend 80% of the year sick due to a severely compromised immune system.
Our roommates broke the lease early and we need to get enough money to make the first and last months payment on a new apartment. Otherwise we'll be out on the street. Anything you could spare would be helpful for me and my wife."
Finally, to help with the cause, Inner Bloom [Nevve] the amazing artist is down to do 3-5 commissions, and putting all proceeds towards this cause. They are innerbloom#5816 on Discord, or innerbloom on the forums here, and are open to messages about this. Here is a sample of their work:Hello, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to thank not only Rob for getting this page going, but every one of you that's given and shown support. This is a difficult situation, and one I never expected to find myself in. I admit, my mind was not going to good places, seeing the time constriction and what the outcome was.
But you're support and willingness to help has aided in redirecting my thoughts to something more positive. It's helped me to feel that this can actually turn around and work out. On behalf of my wife and I; from the bottom of my heart.. Thank you.
