Tonight's post is a little different to what I usually write and I'd really appreciate it if you'd read to the end considering the circumstances are that of great importance.
Colin Chapman, (@UnleashDaWolves on Twitter), has set up a GoFundMe page for his friend Donovan, a small commentary YouTuber by the name of YungCrippTV (@RealYungCripp on Twitter), in order to raise money to pay for medical bills.
Donovan is living with Spinal Atrophy Type 2 and has been wheelchair bound since the age of five. He has a very weak respiratory system and spent the Christmas season in hospital coughing up blood. Apparently his insurance company doesn't warrant this a good enough reason to keep him in hospital. As well as that, Donovan's mobility van with wheelchair assist is broken and and has been unusable for the best part of a year. This obviously means he hasn't been able to leave the house much, and is impacting not only his physical but his mental health too.
The state of government in recent months has impacted his life to the point where he is barely able to support himself on his social security cheque. So not only is his condition a daily battle, but his monetary situation isn't helping either. By no means is Donovan looking for pity, the GoFundMe wasn't set up by him. We as a small community would appreciate any and all help that we can gather for him because he's honestly one of the kindest, well-humoured and humble people I've come across.
Somebody that saw the GoFundMe decided to message him and build his hopes with a job prospect as some kind of gaming commentator to provide a steady income and pay for a new van, etc, which unfortunately turned out to be a scam. There are some extremely shitty people in the world, so I think it's important at this point to prove that not everybody is like that. I'm going to leave links at the end here for anybody that wants to donate anything to the GoFundMe, as well as links to the Twitter/YouTube support pages. Peter Day put together a video explaining the whole situation, so that will be with the other links, too.
Also, go send some nice messages to Donovan because he really deserves it and loves interacting with people. Memes and nudes are also acceptable.
