Please consider donating to support my friend Kevin Chickenscratch. At 32, Kevin is facing a serious battle with a crippling gambling addiction that has taken a heavy toll on his life. He currently lives with his mother as he works to regain stability and seek the help he needs. Your donation will not only provide immediate relief for basic needs but also help fund treatment and recovery efforts. Supporting Kevin now means giving him a real chance to rebuild his life with dignity, hope, and the tools to break free from the cycle of addiction.

Why give?

Kevin, affectionately known as "Chickenscratch," is in the fight of his life — not against a visible illness, but an internal battle that’s just as devastating: a severe gambling addiction. At 32, Kevin’s struggle has left him financially and emotionally depleted, living with his mother as he tries to piece together the fragments of a life derailed by compulsion. This isn’t just about poor decisions or bad luck — addiction is a disease, and Kevin is finally trying to confront it head-on. But recovery isn't free. Treatment programs, therapy, and even the basics — transportation, food, a phone bill — require resources he simply doesn't have. He’s reached a point where he’s ready to change, but he can’t do it alone. Your donation could be the difference between another lost year and a second chance at life. It’s not about bailing him out — it’s about investing in someone who is finally ready to fight for himself. If you’ve ever believed in redemption, in growth, or in the power of community, now’s your moment to prove it.

Giving FAQs

  • Donations will help cover essential expenses for Kevin, including addiction recovery treatment (such as counseling or outpatient programs), basic living costs (food, clothing, transportation, steam balance), and tools to help rebuild his life (like job search resources or mental health support).

  • That’s a valid concern.

  • Recovery isn’t linear, and relapse can be part of the process. If it happens, the support structure we’re building — including your donation — will still be in place to guide him back to recovery. The goal is progress, not perfection.
