My name is Charles McNair, I'm 32 years old and I've been playing league for over 4 years. We just went through a terrible tragedy. We lost our house and everything we owned. Our garage caught fire, I immediately called 911. No one came! I sat with my 7 year old son and 12 year old daughter and we watched our house burn to the ground. Firefighters didnt show up for 30 minutes. We lost everything. I'm calling out for help from all my fellow players. I may not be the best at league or a pro but I love this game and our community. Anything would be grateful, I'm on Facebook or skype if anyone needs to contact me. Also my phone number is 8304334699, if anyone lives in the area of Seguin Texas and has any spare clothes or food anything would help at this moment. Please Share this , I don't care about anything for myself, I just want my kids to feel safe and secure. Thank you all.

I smell scam. This is not the place to call for help.

contact a local LDS church and you will likely get loads of help (it's basically our unofficial full time job to help people, regardless of religion)

that's terrible to hear about, hope you can get back on your feet soon.

try posting here (and the gofundme link):

http://www.reddit.com/r/assistance

but don't post in the League reddit, "sob stories" are frowned on.

That's what Home Owners Insurance is for.

Yes, like FIREDANCER2000 said, the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder-Day Saints) Are great people, they are willing and love to help everyone, they will definitely help you get back on your feet and give you the food and shelter you need to survive. They also will help out with just about anything you need. Go to lds.org or just google for a LDS church in your area, trust me, they do and are more than willing to help you most of the time.

In times of crisis people turn to whatever port in a storm they have.

Don't be a fucking dick. Better to show a few kind words to a troll or baiter than to be callous to someone in genuine need of a kind word.

Spirits be with you and your family pard; dirt-broke myself and far, far from Texas so I fear said kind words are all I have to offer, but here's to a swift recovery from this tragedy for you and yours.

This man is 32 years old, his car broke down, he hasn't been able to support his family, and now he lost this house, and most of you have the audacity to be a bit of a jerk here? (not trying to be rude either) They have nothing at all anymore... So what if he came to a game forum? He's trying to get as much help as he can to help himself, along with his family get back on their feet. He really cares about League of Legends and it's community and he's just asking for help. I would of done the same. If you have any negative comments, please keep them to yourself. He kind of doesn't need any more negativity at the moment...

Any who, I would try to maybe make a Facebook page, as well as a Go Fund Me. (http://www.gofundme.com/) I did both of those when my mother got cancer twice. I would also post on Reddit, (Seeming as how people are mostly on there) Hmm, maybe you could even try Craigslist? Not sure if that would work or not, but hey, it wouldn't hurt to try, right? But Maybe you could go to a local church for help or a Homeless Shelter (If you have no other option here) Do you or your wife have family around? I will also be keeping you and your family in my prayers. :) If you would like help on getting your pages noticed, you can find me on Facebook; Brii Delpha. I will help in any way that I can. I have a picture of me and my boyfriend just in case :)

~ May God be with you and your family.

Scam alert.

Go ask FEMA for help, it is what they should be doing instead of making concentration camps.
