Happy holidays HN. I am hoping to continue the generosity, tradition, and good will of Alexander Thomas Drummond (u/atdrummond), who contributed tens of thousands of dollars to community members here during the Holidays to help people who were struggling [1]. Sadly, Alexander passed away earlier this year [2].

This is not a request for donations. I am content to finance this operation myself (although others are free to offer additional support). All I ask is that you let us know your financial needs and their general purpose so that we can maximize the number of people we can help.

To be clear, while the original intent was to provide dinner expenses for the holidays, this need not be the only reason you ask for funds.

Reasonable requests include:

- Holiday housing

- Toys/gifts for family members

- Food

- Travel assistance

- Medical expenses

- Entertainment for the family

I understand that it can be tough to ask for help. The majority of those who request assistance do so over email and I assure you that I will keep your request and information private and between us. I humbly request you don't share my personal information.

I am happy to use this thread for any questions the community and potential beneficiaries may have.
