Hey guys. I know you've been seeing a lot of fundraising posts from me as of late but this one is a family thing... kind of.

See, my sister Ashley got into watching a few streamers (RIGHT as I went on hiatus from Cat-Thulu, of course), who mainly play Fortnite. One of them is not doing so hot.

tarrnation21 is having a rough, rough time right now. His 5-month-old son  has been hospitalized for three weeks as of the date of this post.  At one point he stopped breathing.

His water is going to get shut off tomorrow unless he can come up with some money. Naturally, he's with his son, so he hasn't been able to work much. However, he has a wife and five other children (some are stepkids but that doesn't matter - he loves them all the same). They need water to drink, bathe, cook with, etc. They need electricity, their phones, their home.

And right now he can't provide any of it, because his son is deathly ill and he’s by his side..

If you can, support him by leaving him a tip here. Or you can PayPal him directly at [email protected].

You can follow his Twitch page here, and watch his streams (from the hospital, and when he hosts other people) to generate future income for him.

You can verify all of this and get updates on his twitter account.

And naturally, if you can’t donate, please consider signal boosting. He really needs our love and support right now.

We all know and love this adorable goofball dorito:

And he’s turning 36 this coming June!

In the first two years of this annual campaign, the fandom raised $3,031 for Christopher’s Haven, and had 71 donors pledge to donate blood through the American Red Cross.  This was done as the fandom’s birthday gift to him.

And we’re doing it again this year, and aiming to make it even better!

Evangers Cares fundraiser for Christopher’s Haven as a birthday gift from the fandom for Chris Evans [donate] [pledge to give blood]

But we can’t do this alone.  This is a gift from the fandom.  It’s gonna take all of us!

Can you help?  Donate, give blood, signal boost the campaign/spread the word - it’s all needed!  And please remember if you’re giving blood to pledge on the red cross Sleeves Up campaign page.  Even if there’s not a red cross near you and you end up giving blood at a local blood bank, it still counts!

Hey guys! As you can see by the link above, I'm going to be studying abroad next semester and I'm trying to raise funds to make this happen. I could really use any support-- whether it be monetary or simply getting the word around-- so I hope if you see this, you'll reblog it along.

My applications for scholarships and grants through both the program and my home college were all denied and almost all of my funding is coming from federal loans at the moment. Loans are scary, tricky things, especially as my family is going through a little bit of a financial upheaval with new, lesser-paying jobs. So, this is my chance to do what I can to lessen the burden for my family. Where I failed to earn the scholarships I had set out for, I hope that by working on this Gofundme page I will be able to make at least a dent in the $10,000 we still need.

This is an opportunity I do not want to miss-- and one, honestly, that my parents would not allow me to miss-- which is why I so desperately hope I can help this way.  This trip isn't just about academics, or the excitement of travel, the possibilities for my thesis, or any of that. This semester abroad is also the damned scariest thing I have ever elected to do. It is my way of facing my anxiety disorder and some of my anxiety-inducers and moving forward as a person.

So I only hope I can go without the anxiety and guilt of loans and unpaid tuition bills hanging over our heads. Any support will be so appreciated, as we have a large bill due to the university on December 12th. Please feel free to send me questions you might have :)

Thank you for reading, friends!
