I am so overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and support for me and my little family, I had no idea that I have been influential or impacted so many people. The reshares, the likes, the incredibly kind words, and the financial help in such a short time has me ugly crying. I love this game, i love this community, and I love you all so much. Thank you for everything, there appears to be hope at the end of this tunnel and i feel like i can breathe a bit again. I am not sure what i did to deserve this from you all, but i will never forget what you all have done for me. Ay-freaking-ooooo gofund.me/d12a3e82

I need your help I plan to make a full time living on X along with competitive gaming as I'm extremely passionate about what I do and what I want to achieve in this world and the impact I want to make Does anyone have connections with potential sponsors that can help me achieve such a goal? Any advice is also helpful so I know how to go about applying for sponsorships since I know I have a very good chance of landing some with where I'm currently at and I've never actually done sponsorships before (I also don't even have a desk or a chair yet since you guys know I just moved here like 2 months ago and it's been a struggle finding a good paying job๐Ÿ˜…; so a desk/chair sponsorship would be PEAK) I also had an elaborate idea of offering my social media skills to an aspiring content creator/gamer/streamer (since I'm extremely well versed in knowing how to blow up here and would love to have a partner in crime that blows up with me) in exchange for room and board and financial support, but I'm not sure where I'd even offer such an exchange; any ideas? Thank you guys so much fr, and know this support you give to me will be given back to you 10x in the future ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿš€
