"Hey folks! While I've been out in Texas this weekend for San japan, my brother's house burned. Thankfully fam is safe, but there was a lot of damage & they lost their kitty. I'm with them now. For those who asked, sharing this. Thanks everyone. <3 <3<3

She needs help to have her family's house rebuilt.

Her house or her brothers?

It's her family house. She herself doesn't live there, but the rest of her family does.

Mods, do you think we should have this stickied?

Sorry to hear about the cat

.... not to be a complete butt but what does this have to do with PAD? I don’t even hear people talking about other more known voice actresses here. Just to clarify, this thread just feels out of place and should be moved to another sub forum like the Miscellaneous Discussion.

I’m truly sorry for what happened to her and her family. It’s horrific losing your family house to a fire. I hope her family finds another permanent place to call their own and were able to recover their important and sentimental valuables.

And to add to this, why is she asking for donations when she herself is probably loaded with money given her position and could probably finance the repairs herself instead of asking fans of the show i.e. mostly kids to help cover the costs?

You're assuming that:
She has loads of money.
She hasn't given a sum of money herself.
She is asking kids to cover costs.

On that last note, twitter and gofundme aren't really kids sites.

Sorry for her brother's/family's loss, but, uh, she kind of sounds too...happy in her message supposed to grieve?

She works for the English dub of the Pokemon anime.

AKA the McDonalds of voice actors. Doesn't exactly hand out enough income.

Now, if this was the Japanese dub, hoo boy, she would be rich enough to afford 5 houses.
