</div>
<div>Hello, I am a simple musician, doing work for pleasure and for new videogames on good old Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In fact I am working with an amazing man, Mauro Xavier from Brazil on multiple projects.
</div>
<div>He is always kind, listening to every things about his works and what we can do to help. You may know him for his <strong>Final Fight MD</strong> awesome project or racing game <strong>Driftin' rage</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The fact is, when working truly with someone, we often share about <strong>personal life</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then, I discovered a passionate man but with an heavy <strong>burden</strong> and lack of luck.
</div>
<div>First he have health issues but also children issues. 
</div>
<div><strong>When he talked about his wrecked car, this was too much, I wanted to do something for him. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You want the full story ? Here we go (with his agreement):
</div>
<ul>
<li>47 years old, Mauro have bipolar type 1, but in a stable condition, having been medicated for over 15 years with mood stabilizers and antidepressants. 
</li>
<li>Since October 2024, been using a pacemaker due to a heart block caused by a disease that causes premature aging of his heart.
</li>
<li>His 16-year-old son and himself both have mild autism.
</li>
<li>his oldest son, 22 (with him on the picture), has Asperger's syndrome.
</li>
<li>His youngest son, 13, has Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
</li>
<li>They all undergo psychiatric and psychological treatments, taking medication that costs a considerable amount of money each month.
</li>
<li>He have a  job. Therefore, he considered developping retro games like a mix of hobby and stress-relieving medication and it's becoming something that can help
</li>
<li>His wife and children support it, and understand the time spent programming, especially since they realize that can help with household expenses as well.
</li>
<li>Car wrecked, already paying a lot each months for earlier issues and now needs it to go to work.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wanted to ask you <strong>any little help</strong> for him, and for his family.
</div>
<div>  
</div>
<div>He is available on

</div>
<div>Bonjour, je suis un simple zicos, travaillant pour le plaisir et pour de nouveaux jeux vidéo sur la bonne vieille Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je travaille actuellement avec un homme formidable, Mauro Xavier, originaire du Brésil, sur plusieurs projets.
</div>
<div>Il est toujours bienveillant, à l'écoute de tout ce qui concerne son travail et de ce que nous pouvons faire pour l'aider. Vous le connaissez peut-être pour son projet génial <strong>Final Fight MD</strong> ou son jeu de course <strong>Driftin' Rage</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En réalité, lorsque l'on travaille vraiment avec quelqu'un, on partage souvent des sujets de <strong>vie personnelle</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Et, j'ai découvert un homme passionné, mais avec un <strong>lourd fardeau</strong> et un sacré manque de chance.
</div>
<div>Il a d'abord eu des problèmes de santé, mais a aussi des problèmes avec ses enfants.
</div>
<div><strong>Quand il m'a parlé de sa voiture défoncée et inutilisable, c'en était trop, j'ai voulu faire quelque chose pour lui.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vous voulez l'histoire complète ? La voici (avec son accord ) :
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Âgé de 47 ans, Mauro est atteint de trouble bipolaire de type 1, mais son état est stable, après avoir été traité pendant plus de 15 ans par des thymorégulateurs et des antidépresseurs.
</li>
<li>Depuis octobre 2024, il porte un stimulateur cardiaque suite à un choc cardiaque dû à une maladie qui provoque un vieillissement prématuré de son cœur.
</li>
<li>Son fils de 16 ans et lui souffrent tous deux d'autisme léger.
</li>
<li>Son fils aîné (sur la photo), 22 ans, est atteint du syndrome d'Asperger.
</li>
<li>Son plus jeune fils, 13 ans, souffre de trouble oppositionnel avec provocation. Ils suivent tous des traitements psychiatriques et psychologiques, et prennent des médicaments qui coûtent cher chaque mois.
</li>
<li>Il travaille. Il a donc envisagé de fabriquer des jeux rétro comme un mélange de passe-temps et d'anti-stress, et cela devient une aide précieuse.
</li>
<li>Sa femme et ses enfants le soutiennent et comprennent le temps passé à programmer, d'autant plus qu'ils réalisent que cela peut aussi contribuer aux dépenses de la famille.
</li>
<li>Il a eu un accident de voiture, il payait déjà cher chaque mois pour des problèmes antérieurs et il en a maintenant besoin pour aller travailler.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Je souhaite vous demander un peu d'aide pour lui et sa famille.</strong>
</div>

</div>
<div>et il fait des merveilles pour notre commu de jeux rétro.
