EDIT: GOAL IS ALREADY REACHED, NO NEED TO DONATE MORE

Hi Guys

Due to issues with Armada flying over and being unable to refund his original flight, I'm down $1200 and not exactly in the best spot because of this.

It's not like I'm gonna go homeless or such, It's just that I didn't plan to fork out $1200 myself on flights for Armada.

I'm seeking for people here to help me, and it seems that with incentive this community likes to help out. I know people are not rich because most of us spent lots on shadowloo for travel or other things (chappos), so I don't think this will be finished too fast but we can try.

I'm willing to do anything like money matches, coaching, match critique, hosting meets or going to yours to play and you name a price for any. If you have other ideas you would like to see just name it and the amount your willing to donate.

If you're a super cool person and want to donate for the sake of it, my paypal is philippretty@gmail.com or contact me via PM for other means of donations.

Sorry if this comes off as being a grub for money, but a $1200 dent in the wallet is hard to recover from and the money did all go towards the community really.

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives anything.

PS: I already know a rediculous amount when it comes to what I can and can't do in regards to refunding the previous flight, so I'm not looking to discuss that here, just trying to recover from it.

Rough man.
I threw $20.69 to your PayPal.
Let me know that it gets there.

Thinking of ideas, maybe you could help me plug my Livestreams sometime in the future?

$100 from me next time I see you. It would have been $150 but you had to go and change your name to Freedact in that MM.

Maybe a meet or a short coach sesh, happy with either

$50 sent. I would like for you to re-invent yourself in the smash community and from now on, be known as "blue cheese sauce guy" and bring blue cheese sauce and things to dip in it to every event.

Or another meet.

Already gotten quite a bit from lots of people, up to $510 already which is amazing. I didn't expect the response to be this big this fast as there's no big name reward at the top.

Thanks so much to everyone who has pitched in.

Again anyone who has donated anything, just tell me what you want and consider it done!

You guys all rock!

I just sent $10 your way. I could imagine the amount of stress you must be in, I also believe what goes around comes around and I'm sure you'd help out anyone else in this community if they were in the same situation.

All I ask for in return is your TO wisdom to help me organise my own Smash tourney in the near future, you've already taught me so much, but I'm sure there's a lot more I need to learn. Also, it would be awesome to have you there on the day to manage stuff as well.

Actually, if we're already paying for someone to fly in, I don't see why we can't get someone to stay for a while and do a few tournaments all up the east coast. That would probably draw in more donor money. Assuming there's someone who's willing to come down for 2-3 weeks.

Edit: It would also encourage interstate travel. A pack of 20 smashers all traveling together with 1 or 2 pros would be sweg.

I was thinking that too, but it might be hard to find people to stay for 3 weeks. I don't think Mango would either because of his family :(

$20 mm at the next meet? Don't play Falcon though. It sort of goes against the whole donation thing if I take your money.

Wouldn't mind a bit of coaching after if you're up for it.
