Get-Well Gamers needs your assistance

Sometimes, even the best of projects have to buckle under the strain of the burdens life has to offer. One such project is the Get-Well Gamers foundation, which was dedicated to bringing games to kids in hospitals around the United States.

Apparently, GWG is facing its own crisis, as the head of the foundation, Ryan Sharpe, is also juggling other duties with his studies. As Ryan wrote,

The Foundation has grown tremendously since I first started it. Unfortunately, my capacity to deal with the foundation has not grown accordingly. If anything, it has decreased, as my workload increases the closer I get to graduationÂ…

I had two staffers who I could trust to help me run the foundationÂ… Unfortunately, one of them recently moved to Washington, and the other has full-time school and a part-time job to contend withÂ…

We need a shipping managerÂ… We need a secretaryÂ… We need someone to handle our website.  We need an accountantÂ…  Most of all we need an officeÂ…

So, barring some miraculous occurrence, this canÂ’t happenÂ…  So when you notice the website is down and you havenÂ’t heard of any new hospitals or whatnot, itÂ’s because of this.  The foundation has grown beyond the capabilities of its founder, and thereÂ’s no one available to take the reigns.

Again, thank you very much for your support over the years, and I hope we can work together again when the Foundation starts back up.  I can promise at least that IÂ’ll never let the Foundation die – it just has to rest for a while until thereÂ’s someone that can take care of it.

The question now is, what can be done to keep Get-Well Gamers alive? According to Game Politics, their site has already gone down. It’d be sad to see a great cause take a dive like this.
