Kazyn Phoenixfyre & Mom need help
Donation protected
Many of us know Kazyn Phoenixfyre, aka Brian Collins, for his tireless commitment to helping others in various online communities (not least of all Shroud of the Avatar, Avatar's Radio, and Church of the Dark Star.)
It's time for us to pay back what has so generously been paid forward. We need to dig deep this holiday season and show our brother that we are a community that comes together when a family member has fallen and sits among the tatters.
His mother has recently lost nearly everything - including her car and even her home. Compounding that, are various medical issues, including memory loss and dementia. Her care is falling squarely on his and his wife's shoulders, with none of his relatives showing any interest in helping.
In his words:
"I am not one to ever ask for help, usually I am the one asking how I can help others. This is just... that tipping point where I couldn't really logically go and refuse it. So I thank Amber and everyone else in the sota community, and I also thank you for all the well wishes i've gotten so far.
I dont exactly know how bad it's gonna be yet - as i'm at the moment trying to help my mom of 64 years basically start a new life... while dealing with the memory and medical issues. It's quite daunting.. and has been really stressful and worrying. I do apologize for my quietness lately in the community but this has been a lot to take in and process..."
The last sentence says it all. His life is in tatters and he is apologizing for not being more active for us.
Please, give what you can. Even $1 at a time adds up very quickly.
And for those who are unable to give financially (hey, we get it, it's the holidays) Amber Raine will be organizing the sending of food, clothing (for mom), and other such donations at (amberrainedragon at gmail dot com) - or, of course, you may contact her in any 'usual' way you prefer.
Thank you all for everything!
