    Our dear friend on Twitch DJ_Sno / Sno_Bl4ckw1d0w needs our help to combat a spider invasion and the aftermath of flooding in her home country. We're banding together to raise funds to pay for professional bug & spider pest control and to rebuild her computer which was damaged during the power surges and outages during the winter storms and flooding. Without her computer she can't stream to earn income and with the supply chain disruption its been hard to repair her PC with the increase in prices. She needs our help to defeat the pests and rebuild her income-producing computer so she can feed her family. I've included her direct plea below. All funds raised will be sent to her immediately after they've processed and transferred - Ariadanz "A devastating flood recently struck the area where my little family and I live, destroying bridges, roads, homes, and power lines. During the flooding, the repeated power surges damaged my PC's SSD. For those unfamiliar with computers, my PC no longer turns on. For those who are tech-savvy, the power surge corrupted the section of the SSD where Windows is installed, making it impossible for the computer to boot up into Windows. To get back up and running, I need to repair or replace the SSD and purchase a quality surge protector to help prevent this from happening again. Without a working PC, I cannot stream or do graphic design, which currently is my only sources of income. The flood also brought an unexpected danger. As wildlife sought shelter from the rising water, our home became overrun with black button spiders which are the South African equivalent of the American black widow. Although they are normally solitary, the sheer number of them has made our home unsafe, and we cannot risk our safety or that of our cat who is our child. We tried to deal with the infestation ourselves, but it has reached the point where we need professional pest control because they are everywhere and dangerous. Tragically, on the day of the flood, we had to rush our eldest cat to the vet. Our local veterinary clinic had been cut off by the flood, forcing us to drive an hour and a half to the next nearest available vet. Sadly, she did not survive. Losing her has made us even more protective of our last remaining cat. If you're able to help in any way, no matter how big or small the contribution, it would mean the world to my family and me. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. - Sno"
