Suddenly a single mom, he stole every penny

We all know and love Ashen Bride; she's been a mentor, a friend, a teacher to us all. She's always happy to help with a word of encouragement, advice, or to make a quick guide to help us out! And up until now, she's tried to keep her in-game persona and her personal life separate and pretty private, but I can't stand by and watch her struggle alone when I know we all love and care about her. So (with her permission) I'm creating this GoFundMe to help her through a very tough time in her life.

Ashen made the decision to take off from work this summer in lieu of shelling out for outside childcare. Though her job made more than her husband's, they had budgeted it out so that they could make it through the summer. Suddenly, he drops the bomb on her that he's in love with someone else (halfway across the world) and that he's leaving. To make matters worse, he emptied their bank account and took their car.

I know this is something beyond our FFXIV housing community, and yet I know if this were me, I would feel so alone and lost. But I want Ashen to know she's not alone, she has us, and we want to help. I want to help her get through the next few months of bills and rent while she heals emotionally and finds her way. We all know she's strong, but with our help maybe she can take a moment to feel like she has a safety net to fall back on--us.
