Our friend and fellow Doper **BMalion** , who has MS, is at risk of losing his house to the company which holds his mortgage. (This is not a thread to discuss the wisdom, or lack thereof, of the company’s decision). I have **BMalion** ’s permission, and that of the MPSIMS PTB, to start this thread. I hope you’ll join me in helping him. For more details: [My house fund, organized by Brian Malion](https://www.gofundme.com/ngztbc2s) Thank you for your most generous gift! ---

I don’t get paid until May 5th but will fire him a few quid then. I hope things work out okay. **Bmalion** has been a gracious host to me at his lovely home more than once. ---

I’ll donate today. I’ll also forward to some friends I have with ties to the Cleveland area. Hopefully they will want help a fellow Ohioan out. ---

Done. First time I’ve ever done something like this. I’ve had a good year, and happy to help out a fellow doper. ---

> [@leftfield6](#): > > I’ll donate today. I’ll also forward to some friends I have with ties to the Cleveland area. Hopefully they will want help a fellow Ohioan out. I donated too. I used to live in the neighborhood right next door - lovely, historic area with easy access to shops, and reasonably priced. With the house already customized, there isn’t a better place for him to be. ---

Not only is it already set up for BMalion’s specific needs, that’s the cutest darned house I’ve seen in forever! I can’t donate today, but hopefully at least a bit by next week. And I can share via social media - one of my dearest friends lived in Stowe for about a decade, and I know that my wider circle will share and help wherever possible. ---

Brian Malion hosted probably four Cleveland dopefests. He’s a most gracious host and a hell of a lot of fun. Thanks to all helping him remain independent. ---
