I'm not sure if it's right or wrong to ask for donations but he is only 18. He sounds like a good kid. He's in a hobby we all love and is reaching out to fellow pin heads. If I could help with the physical part I would, but since I won't be around, I'll donate some money in hopes it gets him out of his current jam. Good luck Otaku

This may not be so much about enabling as it is about letting those that want to be generous for whatever the reason do as they please with their money or their time. No one knows what motivates a person on this forum, so why not just let it be.
