Charity Auction: Friday, 8 July 2022
Jim Kitchen who will be hosting a charity auction for Aaron Koel via the Goodman Games Twitch Channel. If you have the ability, please consider attending the on-line auction and/or donating. Mr. Kitchen posted the following information (which I’ve cut-and-pasted from Tenkar’s Tavern):
A friend of mine, Aaron Koelman, is currently fighting a battle with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. Aaron’s spent most of the last year undergoing grueling chemotherapy sessions and doing his best to win a battle that has some pretty steep odds.
Aaron’s a single dad to an amazing little boy. His son means everything and when Aaron revealed his cancer to me in March one of the things we talked about was fatherhood, particularly in his current circumstances.
Aaron is trying to put together a college fund for his son. To help with that effort I’ve organized a charity auction next week on Friday. It will be a virtual auction on Twitch. Joseph Goodman has been kind enough to donate the space on his companies channel. (As well as some pretty amazing things!)
We will have a lot of RPG items, original art and some great and unique items. I am still working on collating donations but here’s a list of fine people who have already donated:
Michael Badolato/NTRPG
Julian Bernick
Hector Cruz
Jen Brinkman & Bob Brinkman
David Baity
Joseph Goodman
Jon Hershberger
Kenneth Kessenger
Jim Kitchen
Doug Kovacs
Ian McGarty
Peter Mullen
Erol Otus
James Pozenel
Yorkus Rex
James Michael Spahn
Dak J. Ultimak
Loz The-Eye
If I have somehow missed you please send me an email, PM or smoke signal. Work has had me extremely busy and I worry I have missed something somewhere.
If you have zero interest in RPG’s or original artwork then you can still help. Donations can be made via Jon Hershberger’s company Black Blade Publishing. Donations can be sent to tacojohndm@yahoo.com via Paypal.
100% of all monies raised are going directly to Aaron. Winners of auction items will be pay shipping charges but no handling fees or premiums.
If you can skip a few coffees or a lunch for a week please know that it would mean a great deal to me. Aaron is a dear friend.
I don’t know Mr. Koel. I don’t Mr. Kitchen. I do know what it’s like to be a father who’s worried about his children. If you choose to donate via PayPal as described above, please leave a comment on Tenkar’s Tavern at the link above. Tenkar is matching the first $250 donated.
