Big Thanks:

-To Dustin anon whoever you are. 200 bucks isn't so easily tossed around into something even if it's a fundraiser. Thank you very much.

Good evening to you folks! Or good morning if you live in another part of the world! I'm here today, to talk with you about somebody. He's somebody you may or may not know. He goes by the name of Nuka. And he's a good friend of mine. Maybe even, a good friend to you. But whether or not he's your friend, that doesn't matter today.

What does matter today, is the fact that Nuka's in trouble. Some of you may already know that he's on the verge of being homeless. And he's a victim of sad, and poor circumstance. And he's out of options. He's played all of his cards, the best he can, and he's out of luck. On December 2nd, 8 days from now, Nuka will be homeless. With no friends to help, and no family that cares.

Which is why I come to you today. So sit down a minute, and let's have a chat shall we?

I want you to relax. Calm your head down, and think about this for a moment. Imagine, for a second, that you had a family. A family that raised you, cared for you, and made you feel safe and secure. And then, they turned on you. And like that, a piece of your world was gone.

And then, in your struggles, suddenly, your best friends started to turn on you. Some simply couldn't help you. Some didn't want to. They abandoned you. Left you, after all that time.

Imagine waking up with that. Can you do that for a second?

Okay good. Now, let's throw some more on the pile. Imagine, that you're at the peak of your life. 20 years of age. You've got the whole world in front of you. You've got dreams, and you're trying to make yourself happy, despite everything in your life so far.

And then, one day, you get some bad news. The place you've been calling home is up for sale. Your last friend, moving. And they don't have any room for you. You've got no choice. You're on the streets now.

Can you imagine that?

Most of all, I want all of you to ask yourself an important question. Could you do that? Could you wake up, every day, with all of that on you shoulders?

If you could, then you're stronger in will than Nuka, and far stronger than I could ever be as a person as well. But that's not the point here.

The point is, this person, this young man, sits on the edge of his life. And it's falling apart. And he can't do anything to stop it, no matter how hard he's tried. And that's not fair. And I know, some of you may have your doubts about this. You might say, "Well tough shit, my life was no picnic either."

To you I say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever struggles you had to go through. But you're here now aren't you? And if you had the chance, if you were given the choice, to get help in your dark hour, would you take it?

And that's what I'm trying to say. Whether or not you know Nuka as a friend, or a familiar name, or you've never met him, know that he deserves a hand. He deserves help, and love, and care that's never been there for him.

And as a community, we can do that. You know how?

By pitching in something for him. And here's the kicker.

5 bucks. That's all I'm asking. Bare minimum. 5 dollars. Know why? Because I've done the math. If 5 dollars was given by each individual person, it would take 1600 people to reach this goal.

Compare that number. 1600 people. Out of 7 Billion. You think there's a combined number of 1600 people on the sites I'm posting this in? I do.

Before we go any further, I'd like to talk to you about money. About that five dollars you're so fearful to give away. That five dollars you might be potentially throwing down the toilet. That five dollars, you could spend on a chocolate bar and a soda.

Money, put simply, is just a simple number. Most of all, it's made to be spent. That's what it was designed for. Even if you save up your money, can you argue that one day it won't be spent on what you've saved up for?

You can't, can you?

So here's what you gain, by giving five dollars. Five dollars, that you'll spend one day on something else. Five dollars, that you might even lose to the couch, or the laundry Here's what you give.

You give time. You show that you care. To Nuka, you give him a piece of a life. You show him, that through all the garbage he's been through, much of which I can't rightfully tell you about because it's his personal affairs, that he's worth something.

You can show him, that even if you don't know him personally, even if you've never met him in person, and never will, that you care. You care enough to give him something, as small as it is.

I ask of you something, here and now.

As a community, we have the numbers, and the power to fix things. As individuals, we have the power to give a life, and a home to somebody. Just like a good game of Halo, or even Destiny. We're good teammates.

Show Nuka why we're the best damn community around. Show him that we've got his back.

Thanks for your time.

You don't need one. Not for this.

Well I don't have a bank account so there's not much I can do.

Oh boy, here we go >.>;

Are you okay with this? I remember back in that other thread that was made a while back that you weren't too inclined to take money.

I'm much too embarrassed to put this shit out there myself. Sandtrap's been stubbornly wanting to do something though, as he's been PMing me every day. I don't know, I just feel really guilty about all this. Money can he a touchy subject especially since I usually hate taking any kind of payment (even back when I did art commissions through PayPal).

You don't need to feel guilty about it.

Look at it simply. Put your perspective down to earth here.

What other options do you have?

As far as I know, you've got no other options.

So weigh the one you've got.

Home, a life, and doing stuff you love vs out in the street on your own. If it's all you've got left, then there's no reason to feel guilty. You do what you've gotta do.

Anyway, as of right now I have no money that can be set aside for anything other than college and food. As soon as I have any money left for anything else, I'll gladly donate more than just five dollars, but I'm afraid that isn't possible at the moment.

If i get some money I will but... i'm struggling too. my family is filing bankruptcy and today they took my mom's car, my brother is hiding his though.

I'll try, i promise.

Then do me a favor. If you can't give money, then spread this around as much as you can.

I am right now, and I will try to give money when i can.

Rocket man is already spreading this in B.net group chats.

If his life really is/has been so bad, then I sorta understand why he can be such a douchenozzle. I'll unmute him permanently, since the gift of my presence is a fine gift in itself. He can even call me dingus. And he will be my little pal, dungus.
