I know it is natural to provide help to those in need when they ask for it. Sometimes, if they are good friends, we provide said help even when it is not asked for. Of course we do not give help if the need for this help appears to be frivolous; no, we provide it when it is clear that the time for such help is greatly needed.

Now is one of those times.

There are two people who could seriously use a little help from the DeviantART community. One has lost her job, and is currently unable to effectively work due to having had surgery relatively recently. The other…has had her home flooded out, so she has lost pretty much everything, and she is disabled, making things more difficult.

I present to you, the DeviantART community, the two individuals who could definitely use your assistance:





You can find the details about what’s going on with them in their respective journals.

Shinga’s Journal:

Mechangel2002’s Journal:

Both of them could use help, and Mechangel is willing to take commissions instead of outright donations if you wish. Honestly, I believe it is better to simply give in this time of a fellow artists need. And give only what you can realistically part with, be it $10 or $5, or $100. I do not claim one is needier than the other; in my eyes, both are equally in dire straits.

Again, give only what you can, and if you cannot give anything, please do not say you cannot give anything. That is useless and is and empty gesture. If you are unable to give, please pass this newspost on, or their journal links to your friends. If everyone gave just a couple bucks, it would go a very long ways to helping them out.
