SURGE

The Rave community lost a brother. Clout was well known and loved within the Rave community on VRC. We found out that he had died in a RV Fire. The cause of death is still unknown, but all we know is his family is hurting. They need help covering funeral costs and settling financial situations following his death. We want to come together and help them in honor of the life that Clout lived. He brought vibes and created a home within the community with his group, Nemesis. Please join us in pulling together once again to show what an impact Clout left for all of us. R.I.P. Clout. We will miss you. PLUR. News Story

Hey Fam! SURGE is pulling together with the community once again to help a friend in need. This one is our very own. Below is his own story, but here is a synopsis as well from evidence that I (Fallon) have seen myself. The lady was what looked to be 10-15 feet onto his property UNLAWFULLY. She had no business being there and was almost on his porch. She tends to be an aggressor when it comes to arguments and does not respect Kanto or his family's property. Kanto's dog was doing what any dog was trained to do. Protecting his home. Protecting his family. Please help us raise money to help Kanto to keep his home and his fur family. "Hello, my name is Shaun. Many of you know me as Kantorilo on vrchat. You may have seen me at Awwtizm events, DJing, or just having a grand time wherever the party is. Unfortunately, I have found myself in a 2 front legal battle due to a neighbor consistently bringing her dog in and around my property. The two dogs in question are my babies Oliver the (bernedoodle) and Russell (white dog). Firstly, Russell, my big baby ive had him since i got him in 2017 and have raised him myself, not only is he very intelligent but he has alot of personality to him. Hes normally a very calm and relaxed dog when hes just hanging around. Hes very protective, hes a big cuddle bug and loves to bird watch ( he will legit sit at my window and watch birds and stuff all day). All of his life hes loved to run around and play with other animals we bring around him, and when hes outside with oliver they just love to chase eachother around. My other baby is Oliver, hes a young sprucy little thing. Hes also got a ton of personality to him; hes super sweet and loves to play. Hes always sticking his nose in places where he shouldnt...(hes part doodle so thats that side of him). I've had him for about a year and hes doing great, very lively and energetic. My neighbor has a dog that does not get along with Russell at all. Even though she knows that the dogs do not get along, she specifically goes out of her own way to my property leading to both dogs becoming aggressive. As far as im aware she doesnt live near my place and is at least a 1/4 mile away, and yet i still see her walking her dog near and infront of my house. One day I was going about my day when the neighbor then brought their dog again to my property. My dogs were inside at the time but my aunt wanted to go outside to smoke and that lady was being loud outside. Unfortunately Oliver slips past and so does Russell. Russell being protective sees the dog, and from my room i hear growling and barking. I go outside and see them fighting so i separate them and send the dogs inside. As i do that i her her hollering about something, but i dont think much of it. Less then an hour later animal control is here asking me about happened and i tell them my side and now we are here. Because she was bit she talked to the owners of the trailer park im living in, and they sent me a letter threatening me that they'll take ownership back of the lot. I have to deal with court concerning russell and being off leash ( which at the time he was on my property, leash laws require dogs to be on a lead OFF property). I am now stuck fighting for not only my dogs life, but my own living situation. As much as I hate to ask for it, I need help. I need funds to be able to afford a lawyer to fight this lawsuit, eviction, and a worse case scenario of having to move."

Hey Fam, Many of you guys know me already or know bits of my situation, but here I can retell it further. To those who are new to me, hello! My name is Fallon. Some people know me formerly as Bunny as well. I'm a former co-owner to Club Chemistry, and current owner to my lovely new and quickly growing community, SURGE. My IRL, like a lot of you, is a big reason why I got so heavily involved in VRC. It is not the best nor the easiest. Here recently, however, things have gotten significantly worse. I got let go from a brand new job in August and have struggled finding work since. I've had multiple interviews with no call backs, and yes, I reached out only to be brushed off. At this point, within the past month, I've probably put in close to 200-300 applications, no joke. I'm overly discouraged. It is to the point that I am at risk of losing my home. We are also struggling with money for groceries (Thank you to the friends who has sent in money already to help put food on my family's table for the next week, I love you.) I probably wouldn't push for a fundraiser if this only effected me, however it doesn't. I have a 5 year old boy who is special needs (Level 2 Autism and ADHD with Learning Deficiencies) and a mother who is disabled. Even outside of the possibility of losing our home... we have other issues around the house such as no heat and no air (we have window units but only in certain rooms) and we have concerns with the upcoming winter. Life has been unkind to us, but we have tried to remain positive and hope that we have an uphill at some point. This is me reaching for that uphill. I don't wanna use this as an excuse not to work, I just don't want to lose my home and put my son and mother into a terrible situation. I'm looking harder than I ever have for work, I just need help not to lose the roof over our head. So yeah, This is me reaching out as member of the PLUR fam in need, as a daughter, and even more importantly as a mother for help. I appreciate all of you involved already. My heart is overjoyed. Thank you. Love and Unity. Fallon/Bun

"Hi, my name is KJ. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, but I’m reaching out because I truly need help to start over. I have survived not just one, but two different domestic violence situations with two different men. Both left me broken in ways I’m still trying to put into words. I worked so hard to rebuild my life after those chapters, but now both of these men have been released early from prison. Knowing they are free has shaken my sense of safety all over again, and I can’t ignore the fear that comes with it. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder. I want to move halfway across the country to a place where I can finally breathe, heal, and begin again without the constant weight of fear. But making that move takes resources I simply don’t have on my own. That’s why I’m asking for help. Any support you can give- whether it’s through a donation or by sharing this page- brings me closer to safety, peace, and the chance to rebuild my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for seeing me, for believing in me, and for helping me take this step toward freedom. With love and gratitude, KJ" We can help be the bridge to freedom. #KJStrong
