A Heart Warming Tale of Community Spirit
My clan The Speakers Secret Stash has been around since the house of wolves and been a very active community for the past 2 years.
In that time we've grown to approaching 1000 members, now you're probably thinking that's too big for a clan and that individuals get lost in the sheer size of our community but if you have that misconception then you couldn't be more wrong.
This week our community came together to do something amazing for a lost guardian. One of us! A member of the Stash Family, a much loved personality greatly missed.
Now without delving too deeply into personal circumstances our friend SK1CKMAN85 had fallen on hard times, His Wife having given birth to the most beautiful little girl, found himself needing to support his family putting a huge burden on finances, sacrifices had to be made and unfortunately selling his PS4 was one of those sacrifices.
Now. Let me tell you about this guy as a guardian. First off he's one of the founding members of our clan, he's been here from the beginning. But during the Year 1 moments of triumph spent many an evening helping clan members beat Skolas in the lvl 35 prison of elders, helping approx 50-60 people achieve that part of their requirements, including myself, in most cases doing double carries.
This kind of helping mentally set the tone for our clan and is now one of the philosophies we hold true and are continuing to help Guardians with achievements to this very day.
Unfortunately he dropped out of gaming midway through The Taken King Expansion and has not played Rise of Iron yet but he has never left our thoughts, but we decided to help out in any way we could, we were all determined to get him back playing so he could enjoy the remainder of Rise of Iron and be ready for Destiny 2 with his clan, his 'home' if you will.
So after some conversations with some of the Admins and good friends we decided to raise some money to buy him a new PS4 and a copy of Destiny the Collection and 12 months PSN, within days of the idea Guardians had pledged enough money to make this a reality and after raven-heart79 purchasing the console striking a good deal with Smyths Toys we were able to surprise an unsuspecting ST1CKMAN85 by delivering the gift to his house. Real life friend Rob (ChBoK3K) and Dom (domji) did the honours and recorded the special moment.
