I want to say that I am so thankful to you for doing this. Literally brought tears to my eyes when I saw your message.

I actually almost made a thread with my story. I will share it here.
Over the last several years, we had six family members pass away, two of which were by suicide - both of them found hanging, one hanging from a tree on the side of the road and one hanging behind a Cracker Barrel. Then we had one of our close friends pass away about three weeks ago. All of this completely devastated us. I used to trade stocks (after selling the art business), but could no longer trade since we had to use the funds for so many different funeral services along with other life costs.

The primary thing I’m going through now is a divorce after fifteen years of marriage and I have no where to go live. Our lease ends in four weeks and the landlord said she’ll be selling the home. In two weeks, my wife is moving out into an apartment with the kids. The few things we had left like the dining room table, she sold and got a Venmo payment so she could front her moving costs. I literally came downstairs to see the table was gone. She has someone coming to get the couch tomorrow.

Note that she said she wanted to go back to school so I worked multiple jobs to support her getting her four year degree. Now, she’s graduated, and wants to separate. I was used, basically.

To add onto all this, I am constantly struggling to pay bills and I’m always paying double bills since I have to put many of them off. I’m working a full time job and then I’m driving Uber all night. I give myself Sunday off to recover so that I can do it all again the next week.

We’ve been sleeping in separate rooms for six months so honestly it’s gotten me into an acceptance phase and I’m doing okay. But financially I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do. My plan was to just get a rooftop tent for my suv and just camp in it. Maybe go find myself. Then I thought about maybe just bouncing from airbnb to airbnb. It’s not stable at all, but I can’t get approved on leases because 3x income requirements, credit score, all kinds of concerns.

So honestly I don’t know. This has been a sincere storm that hit me starting in 2020 and it simply won’t stop raining.

I really want to reiterate that I sincerely appreciate this auction. You have a big heart, Cyrus. Thank you. This will help alleviate a lot of my concerns.

Very sorry to hear about your situation Frank, and much kudos to Cyrus for setting up this auction.  I have done business with you many years back so I know what you are going through must be sincere.  Bad times can hit all of us, whether its financial, health, or personal.

I've sent a little bit of BTC to the address in the OP.  Hopefully others may follow or perhaps bid generously on this item.  

Cheers and best wishes on keeping your head up through these tough times.

This is very kind of you. And it’s great to see you here on the forum. Yeah, I almost made a thread about it entirely by itself a few weeks ago. Had it all typed up and was actually going to ask if anyone could help because I am in last resorts mode. Ended up not posting it. I suppose the bad times help us appreciate the good times. It’s certainly made me appreciate life in general. But I’ve become extremely alienated. I have no one but my kids. No where to turn for trust, compassion, etc. So honestly this forum … it really just amazes me. Yall really do.

Thank you also to Zip.

And very generous of you krogo to add items into the auction. Thanks everyone 🙏

I like Krogoth's and hybridsoles ideas - I will be adding some of the extra items I have laying around to the auction as well - kinda like increasing the Lot1 items/values hopefully encouraging more bids and thus sending @frankbitcoin some more sats

Thank you very much @krogothmanhattan, @MoparMiningLLC and @hybridsole!
Added your items to the OP as bonus items since adding them as extra lots seemed a bit complicated at this point 

This is Vires in Numeris!

[raghavsood]

Please add one card from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5502163.0 as well to the winner lot.

Great haul of collectibles on offer here, well done to all the donators!

unfortunately I wont be making a bid, its gone way above my pay grade. Best of luck to
whomever bags this auction but I have made a small Satoshi donation.

Best of luck to Frank, you will come through the troubles, you will just have to get past
this rough patch. If there is one thing BTC has thought us is to be positive!
