Help Jordan (Poncho Chief) get to E3 2019

Donation protected
Hi there everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my campaign. My name is Jordan Wharton.
As much as I hate asking for help, especially when its not a cause many would view as important, this year my health has left me with little choice.

My health has been dramatically decreasing over the past number of years to the point where I can no longer hold a full time job. Sadly in March 2019 I had to resign from my part time job due to my mental health decreasing in quality even further. I have been in and out of hospital and various other things, such as therapy, over the past year, and my mental health does not seem to be improving. I don't see me being able to attend an E3 after 2019, so this may be my final chance.



I'm reaching out to those who may have seen my passion for gaming and journalism over the years. It is looking likely that I will be unable to afford a trip to E3 2019 without some sort of help, so I am reaching out to my friends and the gaming community for some support.

Over the past 6 years I have been a key figure in the Halo community, helping gather various groups of over 60,000 together across YouTube, Facebook and other platforms. I have keen passion for cosplay and have been in close contact with both the Xbox team and 343 Industries Team too. My passion for Halo, the community and gaming is like no other.

Along with being an admin of over 30 Halo groups and pages in my time, I have also gathered a personal community on a page called The Worlds First Poncho Chief. This community at its peak grew to over 14000 strong and I met and spoke with many Halo cosplayers over its peak times. My Poncho Chief cosplay was also featured on Halo Waypoint multiple times, which allowed me to connect to an even bigger audience on twitter. My passion for the community has always be strong.



I hate coming across as if I'm begging for money, so I won't plead that people help. If I don't make it to E3 this year, it will be upsetting, but it won't be the end of the world. I simply hope that some people would like to help support me get there this year, as it would be devastating for me to miss such reveals as Halo Infinite. 

The amount I've put up would cover me for an E3 ticket as well as flights. Even a little would help towards these and I would be extremely thankful to anyone who can even share this around.
