I tried to set up a Twitch Prime thing to give him some money from the subscription but I don't even have a credit card. Do you know of any other way to help him?

Who is it?

[Jackofallpots]

Spiritual Jedi. He seems like such a great guy. I hate to see this happen to him.

Why is he losing his home?

[Jackofallpots]

I don't think it's my place to say. There is an explanation on his channel.

Probably too little, too late, since the deadline is tomorrow...

[DivineTomatoes]

Screw him.

I'm not going to pay for his mistakes.

I knew making this topic would be a bad idea but I felt like I needed to. Sorry everyone.

You post up an emotive title with no information in the body, need to have the details pulled like blood from a stone, then on further requests for information you say it's not your place to say (after making the thread) and direct people to the streamers channel...

Super bait.

Declare your interest

Does seem a little pishy.

Don't apologize for being empathetic and showing compassion for your fellow man. It's a rare quality these days. I would love to help him out If I can. I'll throw him 5 or 10 bucks. The only thing is, you never really know what the person's true intention is. He may just want a new PC.

My interest? I found this guy's channel and he said he's losing his home in a few days. I feel sick to my stomach from the prospect of him being homeless. I've been watching ads nonstop to get him bits in a futile attempt to do something because there is nothing else I can do.

[Jackofallpots]

Truth be told I only made my Twitch account like a day or two ago and don't have any knowledge to the extent some scammers have gone.

Why is he losing his home? Necessary information if you want to get people to sign up for twitch to even consider donating him money.

Also if its because he spends all his time playing video games and not having a job to pay his bills, it's going to be kind of hard for a lot of people to feel sorry for him.

[Jackofallpots]

I wouldnt expect anyone to sign up for Twitch to give someone money.

I don't even know what I was thinking making this topic. He seems so casual talking about losing his home and I feel for him.

Some people train themselves to show as little emotion as possible in order to keep a job or not mix work life and personal life. If he really needed the help you'd easily have the reasons why he would potentially be loosing it as well as a paypal or kick starter donation set up with the stated intent of at least renting a new place with a stated amount of money followed by a hard deadline cut off. He'd also give regular updates on the status of the goal along with the amount donated thus far.

Reading business sites like forbes can give you an idea of what people do when they try and set up paypals or kick start a business. I'm sure there are some who would donate but you've given them no reason to care other than stating he is loosing his home in a casual manner in a few days. That raises three major questions to me. 1. Why exactly is he loosing his home? 2. Why would he be so casual about it? It clearly doesn't seem to be from a natural disaster which has happened fairly recently so it must not be an emergency. 3. It is a stranger you want us to support. What facts do we know about him that would make us want to donate to him? Is he some mwo streamer that has pgi support or a big following? If he did I'm sure his followers would help him out.

Well let me be the one to inform you that a few years ago there was a twitch streamer in a wheelchair, everything seemed normal and legit, right? Well months go by, one day he forgets to set his intermission/afk screen and gets up from the wheelchair like nothing.

Yeah... some people are willing to go all out.

I highly recommend checking out some youtube videos of banned twitch streamers. One of them includes a person claiming to be wheelchair bound,(unable to move his legs) yet live on stream while thinking his camera was off he got up and walked away.
