My name is GriffinGamingRPG, and together with my co-producer SeriousFun, we host the SOL Citizens podcast. We have been honored with invitations to the Cloud Imperium Games Squadron 42 VIP event in Manchester, U.K. this coming October 9-11, 2026. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to connect with the creators, share our passion for the Star Citizen community, and represent the SOL Citizens supporters at this eagerly anticipated event, 14 years in the making.

Unfortunately, both SeriousFun and I are currently facing significant family responsibilities. I am retired and caring for my mom, who is 102 and living with dementia. SeriousFun is unemployed and supporting his wife as well as both parents, who are all facing significant health challenges. These caregiver responsibilities have made it difficult for us to afford the travel expenses that would otherwise be within our reach. Donations will go directly toward airfare, transportation, and hotel accommodations, making it possible for us to attend the event and bring back experiences and insights to share with our listeners.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer. This opportunity means so much to both of us—not just as podcasters, but as members of a community that has given us so much. Thank you for considering helping us make this journey possible. Your generosity will help us represent SOL Citizens and bring the excitement of Squadron 42 back to our audience.
