Hey guys - please read

acclaim99 · 06-28-2020, 12:55 AM

I was supposed to post this about a month and a half ago, but things have been hectic.

This is Acclaims brother. He has mentioned in a few pasts within the last year about being sick. Every time he did, he was reached out from users here offering to purchase games, support, and etc.

I have been talking with Markus the past couple months about making this topic, and had his blessing.

A couple months back, J (acclaim) took a turn for the worse from osteosarcoma, which started to spread. If you ever dealt with someone dealing with cancer, you eventually have to have the talk.

The only thing he kept asking for was this Phillies casket (he has a crazy sense of humor.) To get it made and shipped, it was $2500. We pooled every dollar we had, then covid hit.

With the uncertainty, we're trying to get this ordered asap. And now, these bills are just burying us.

A couple weeks ago, Markus sent him '21. When he isn't sick from chemo, that's all he's been doing.

So again, I've saw the messages some of you guys have written him, again, thank you.

If you're able to help, it'd be appreciated. Even if you want to write him, he usually logs on and at least reads around.

Again, that was originally made when we were all sitting in icu, now we are back home.

He's happy baseball is coming back. Any little victory they cracks a smile.

Thanks to Markus again.

Also want to thank users:

Jtnlange
And, birdwatcher

Who wrote messages or support and offered to purchase the game on ootp20 I think, it was 3/2019.

If anyone has any messages, feel free to write him. I don't check his act or forum until the night time, after he goes to sleep.

Thank yall.

Just donated.
Best of luck and lots of prayers.

Thank you guys.
And thanks for the luck. He smiled when I mentioned that baseball is starting up soon.

It's sad watching someone go through this and there's nothing you can do it about it. We all hate feeling so helpless.

My thoughts are with you and your family during this sad and difficult time.

And for your brother I hope that the support of a loving family and the joys of OOTP and his love of baseball help ease his passage. I will also hope for him more time to enjoy these things and healing for all no matter what comes.

Thank you. Been an.... Exhausthing past year or so. And this covid thing is making things rougher.

He's been playing ootp since ootp3 I think. He just wasn't a big poster on here. Reddit a little.

Thanks for the donations guys. I'm going to sell my ps4 to get another bit of money up. The faster the better, because of shipping.

Hey guys. An update:

Hey guys - the creator knocked the shipping off. So it's $100 cheaper.

Please donate so we can finish the customization!

We are almost there now!
I had to sell my ps4, but that got us a little closer. He's sad. But. Nothing else I could do.

Just wanted to give a bump. We've been busy running our butts off.

acclaim99 · 07-13-2020, 11:47 PM

He wanted this posted, being almost from Millville, and trout being his favorite player
