Hello everyone. My name is Cinquea Stafford. A lot of you know me as Unsafeonhit, and have played fighting games with me over the years. I appreciate the community you guys have given me, but this isn't about that right now.

Unfortunately, on Wednesday, June 4th 2025, my father died in his sleep. He had a history of Sickle Cell Disease and was in crisis when he died. He said he hadn't been feeling the best that day, but nothing to indicate that anything major was wrong. I stayed up late at night, and was listening out for him but nothing was alarming. I just woke up that morning, and he was gone.

My home life and circumstances have been difficult since I was a kid, but my father has always been one of my biggest supporters. He was there at Ceotaku 2019, where I made my first top 8, and Combo Breaker 2023. He's encouraged my fire for competitive gaming as well as my career pursuits outside of gaming. I would not be the player or the man I am today without his influence and support.

I was previously in college, but was forced to drop out to support my family and help out at home. I then previously worked security, but no longer do so. I completed a coding bootcamp and was in the midst of looking for work while I lived with my father, but am still searching. Unfortunately, other job prospects are limited because I am disabled (I'm legally blind with a degenerative eye disease and cannot drive or flat out work certain jobs at all). I currently have almost no money. Any appearances I've had at anything recent from FGs was through the support of others, since I've been in the community since I was a child.

A few months ago, my mother suffered a debilitating stroke and has lifelong physical and neurological problems as a result. I'm my dad's oldest son and, along with his mother, have the responsibility of handling his affairs. We have an estimate of about $1350 solely for the cremation of his body. We still have to take funeral arrangements into account, as well as money I'll need to live while I search for a job. I will be able to crash with one of my uncles so I have a place to sleep, but whatever you guys could donate to support the funeral costs, food, clothes (I don't have anything to wear for job interviews right now and this also limits my options), or anything would really help. Any other support you have as well (job opportunities, food bank resources, anything you have) would be appreciated. I literally have nothing at this moment and life has truly knocked me on my butt. But my dad raised me not to quit. So I won't. Please help me in whatever way you can and thank you so much in advance. You really don't know how much this means to me.

Any support or advice can go to [email redacted] (this is my paypal email). Thank you.
