Now - that's the correct thing to do if your budget is tight. However, for a single-mom, with an autistic child, the game was an escape, a connection to friends and people who could talk to and encourage her. It was a sanctuary.

In the face of that challenge,
@thegoldqueen launched into action! She tweeted her plan to roll a toon on NA servers and do all she could to help raise gold for tokens to pay this young Mom's subs for awhile. So what happened?1 reply 1 retweet 4 likesShow this thread -
Well, you'll have to read the full account - but in short she helped teach this young Mom how to make gold, but marshaled the community to action to help supply gold and tokens for months of game-time! HERE:https://www.thegoldqueen.com/blog/million-gold-evening-story/ …

But now
@alyzande is faced with her own Dilemma. You can read the abreviated account on her site:https://www.thegoldqueen.com/warcraft-gold-guides/real-talk/ …1 reply 2 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
but TL;DL
@thegoldqueen has a serious deadline with real bills and expenses that will not only shut down her online presence, but may result in the loss of her home, independence, and as an Autistic Mom, with an autistic child, the loss of some of her identity, and1 reply 3 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -
some of her support structure. The friends, community, and people that she knows and loves and who she selflessly serves despite the monthly financial losses. But now the deadline is real. And after she's given so much, is there nothing we can do to help?

I understand people's finances are a personal and complicated thing. I know many won't be able to help financially - but - everyone can do something. Reach out, spread the word, maybe you have a corporate contact that would do online advertising? maybe you can buy a shirt?

Send $1, buy her a Kofi, whatever you feel you can do. Because every contribution, kind word, and help will help her overcome this hurdle.

Now, some may be thinking.. "of all the things we can do to help, is this legit? is this the best way to help her? Is she not responsible for some of this mess herself? Well.. sure - but, aren't you also? If you've ever used her tips, newsletter, site, videos, tweets to get ideas

to make gold, to figure out a way to organized or inspire your goldmaking efforts, or even just to chat about
#warcraft with her - then couldn't you show forward some support? Or at least swing by and let her know you're in her corner.1 reply 1 retweet 5 likesShow this thread

Six months is not long - but - it's more than enough time for this #warcraft community to step up and help. In whatever way you're able.
I'm open to ideas and listening! and I know she is also! Let's help her like she's helped so many! Start Here:https://twitter.com/thegoldqueen/status/945946397748158464 …

and maybe we organized a raffle, donate products you make, gold for prizes, whatever you think we can do to help. Let's start planning - and act. Remember, we're all human. None of us is perfect. We've all had a rough spot - maybe we're in one now. What about your scars?pic.twitter.com/B0Vecz6bSW
