13 - a fundraiser post: Helping Tracey and Ennis Rebuild After the Fire
If you're reading this, I'm posting to bring some awareness (and hopefully some donations!) for two people who had just lost most of their belongings and means to work - and lost two cats in the process - to a devastating fire at their apartment on the night of February 27.
GOFUNDME LINK: Helping Tracey and Ennis Rebuild After the Fire
Tracey and Ennis are two independent artists who rely on drawing and sharing their work online (Tracey also runs an online store selling independently-made merch of Final Fantasy XIV characters as well as other franchises), and so work from home most of the time. They lost their means to work in the fire, but most importantly the fire took the lives of their two cats. They only managed to recover the body of one of them, Felix, who they planned to cremate.
Sharing this on your social medias would help immensely, as well as any donations you could make to help them recover from their losses - I don't know them personally, but they're respected, decent people that much of FFXIV fandom on Bluesky and X know and recognize. If you're on Bluesky, you can share this post made by a friend of theirs (who to my knowledge had also provided them shelter in the aftermath) and help bring more attention to those who could help. The post is also available on Instagram if you're also able to share it there.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
