Help frek and her husband Chris in their daily fight against Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s is normally a manageable disease, but after multiple complications during and after surgeries, the fight is getting harder and harder each day for Chris. After being in and out of the hospital, having to transfer multiple times, we decided it’s time to help. (read more about Dani & Chris here)
This fandom has been known for its generosity. Whether from SC Wolf Haven Charity, to raising money for CF for JR, to raising money for Cancer Research for Tyler Posey… this fandom has given so much. How about we help out one of our own this time.
This fundraiser is both a raffle and an auction in hopes of raising the most we can to help them out with their daily struggles. Personally, I have met both of them and have seen what they have to go through on a good day.
AUCTION:
The auction (which takes place on livejournal) takes place until Nov. 30th where you can bid on commissions from fic authors, fanart, graphics/gifs, fanvideos, and crafts! So make sure to check out the auction . There are a lot of amazing fanworks up for auction!
RAFFLE:
The raffle has over 30 prizes that will be picked at random, all of which were donated by fandom. We have a pack of sinyhale’s TW cards, daunt’s teas, sticker sets, signed memorabilia, and much more that is being revealed daily! Buy your raffle tickets at the indiegogo! The more you get, the better your chances of picking up one of the 30 prizes!
You can also donate, as well, without receiving raffle tickets if you wish.
There are multiple packages of tickets to choose from, each giving you more tickets and a better chance at winning a prize. The raffle ends on Dec 23rd.
WE CAN DO THIS, FANDOM. We can make a difference in Dani & Chris’ daily lives. We’ve raised money before, we can do it again. Help out a fellow fan.
Thank you for your time.
This is a PERSONAL POST, the official fundraiser post can be found here and their twitter can be found here.
I do not know Dani or Chris and I assume Dani is part of the Teen Wolf fandom which is a show I only really know through gifsets on tumblr.
I do, however, know about Crohn’s Disease – since that is what my Dad had. It is an awful awful thing. My Dad didn’t have to deal with too much of it since he got diagnosed in his late 40s/early 50s (his Crohn’s really developed late in life) andddd well. He passed away 6 years ago last Wednesday at the age of 58 due to stuff related to the disease. For the last year of his life, we had a bottle of morphine in the fridge that he would take a few chugs from every now and then during the day – I guess that illustrates the kind of pain that comes with the disease. Luckily, my Dad lived in the UK and had the NHS to take care of him. It’s not as simple for Dani and Chris.
Please help if you can.
