Hey Y'all. I've had a rough time with life these past few years and the beatings apparently will not keep coming. Here's the short version: * One-sided surprise divorce that left me out almost $90k. * Had a headache and went to the doctor, turns out I had a brain tumour growing for most of my life. * Recovering from surgery, I was robbed and lost a lot of the gear that I used to run my audio business. * Just found out my work is going to do the rest of the year acoustically, as in without me mixing the audio (I mix audio live for musical theatre.) * I'm going to get another brain tumour in the future. I'm only 36 years old and this bad news feels a little too early in my life. I hate asking for help, and I really don't want to hear anything negative about this - I've a lot of negativity in my life as is, and if you don't agree with this then I would prefer you keep it to yourself. However if you think you can help out I would be most grateful, and if you can't do any more than a share every little bit helps. I reached out to Saint and got his blessing before I posted this as it's an arcade forum and I thought that asking would be the most respectful thing to do before I posted. Before you click the link, watch out. There's a few gnarly pictures of my head after they put my face back on (They took my tumour out through my forehead, but to save my face they cut across the top of my head and peeled my face off to my eyes.) https://www.gofundme.com/andrew-got-sick |

Everyone needs a helping hand sometime in their life. Life kicked me in the balls a few years ago. I know what it is like to have your whole world fall apart. I threw some money towards your cause. I hope it helps. If you need someone to talk to or just to listen, PM me. My prayers are with you. If you don't believe that stuff, then my thoughts are with you. |

Like Mike said, everyone needs help one time or another. I would prefer if you would PM me your Paypal address as GoFundMe wont let me do it anonymously and I don't want to give them my info. You've always been a stand up guy here so I dont mind helping. I'd also like to extend an invitation that if you ever need someone to talk to Im an instant message away. I hope things turn around for you. |

Hello again everyone. I didn't know that there's no anonymity on GoFundMe. I'll admit that I don't worry about that stuff personally but if you do, I have also set up a PayPal link that goes to there instead in case you don't want to give your details or have them show. Or whatever other reasons. https://www.paypal.me/andrewgotsick I will keep checking back in often. I don't use screens much at all any more, the downside of having something with a circumference of 6.5 cm in your head that doesn't belong is that it doesn't leave room for the good stuff and as a result my left eye got crushed and is mostly blind. I'm on some really nasty medication to reduce the swelling and in theory when that's gone away they can see if there's anything left worth saving. The vision is so different between the two that I can't focus on things for long, such as reading, playing video games, television, etc. I can still legally drive however and they even say I can still ride my motorcycle however I voluntarily don't do that one. Hopefully the visit to the eye specialist on the 31st will have good news for me! |

You as the recipient will still see the name, but it's not public. --- Quote --- I can still legally drive however and they even say I can still ride my motorcycle however I voluntarily don't do that one.
