Eric needs help

View attachment 123095
Hey GbaTemp family.

A very good friend of mine has come into a kinda crappy situation. Eric and his family have lived in the same apartment for 10 years. Recently, their landlord decided that he wanted to renovate the apartment, thus making Eric and his family have to find a new place to live. They are not leaving on any bad terms at all, but they do not have a choice in the matter.

Eric and his wife Melissa are great people. Eric has always had a job and worked very long hours to make ends meet. They are extremely humble and regularly go to the local food pantry to make up for what they are short on with money. They don't own a computer. They don't have internet or cable TV. Like I said, they live extremely humbly.

I try to do what I can to help Eric and his family out by inviting them over for dinners and letting them do their laundry at our house. I even recently gave their daughter, Gaea, a Wii that I modded and loaded up with a bunch of games so she can enjoy some sort of electronic entertainment.

So, with Eric's current predicament, he doesn't have the funds readily available to afford a security deposit and first months rent. He opened up a go fund me in order to raise those funds so his little girl can continue to have a stable roof over her head.

His landlord wants to start the renovations at the beginning of June, so Eric needs to get everything situated as soon as possible. If he can't make things work out by then, I will be opening up my home for his family to stay at until they can get everything straightened out.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your help.

Hopefully he and his family can get some support. I know most of all how life-changing a gofundme can be for someone in trouble. Best of luck to him.

I hope my voice has some weight here on this forum that i have contributed so much to.

My good friend needs some help, and i know there are good people out there that have the means to donate a single dollar. I have personally given all i can while facing a foreclosure.

I hate to ask, but this is not for myself. This is for a person that has been there to help so many other people in the past, myself included, but i am only able to do so much myself.

Anyone willing to donate, either financially or with physical help, I will provide stomach compensation with our own homestead raised food. If you are in my area, you are invited to dine with my family and I. Hell, even if you don't help in any way, my home is open for you all to come and enjoy the best meal that you could ever get.

P.S. I live in Massachusetts.

Even if I go to US sometime the chances I would be anywhere near you are slim. But I'm not expecting anything in return. I should get paid within a few days so I'll send a few bucks then.

Eric added an update to the campaign this morning and I though I would share it with you all.

"I would like to thank you guys for starting the movement of adding money to my campaign I know it ain't much but I appreciate every little bit that anybody can spare and thank you again"
