AUGUST 31ST - HOMELESS SITUATION UPDATE: DOOMMANTIA BEING PUT ON HOLD ...

 Update: Today is my first day of official homelessness. I have moved into a tent by a river, no electricity, no light, just a barren existence for me and my dog. Thankfully through the kindness of Doommantia Readers I was able to save my belongings, the most important of all being my extensive CD and record collection. I promise I will thank everyone one by one but I have no time to do that right now but I will thank you, you people are life-savers and I am deeply touched by your kindness and generosity. Right now, this site is strictly a part-time venture so be patient waiting for reviews and replies from emails. I have no internet access and my time is limited so getting to a public computer is very difficult as I don't have a car anymore either. Sitting all alone in the dark, hearing nothing except for the sound of running water from the near-by river makes you realize how fragile, unpredictable and cruel life can be. Your life can be turned upside down tomorrow so make the most of today. I am at work now which is why I can send you good people this update but outside of work, I am alone, broke, hungry and waiting for a break from this madness. When or if that happens I will be back stronger and more wise than I ever was before. This experience has made me very bitter, depressed and angry but it has also made me realize I have to be thankful for having friends that care so much so I thank you.

I am now homeless and without internet connection and thus Doommantia will be put on hold. Sorry for any inconvenience this may caused but without a roof over my head, what is the point in having a website right? Having only be given 2 weeks to find somewhere to live is down-right cruel in anyone's language but that is what this wonderful country and one very evil apartment manager has done for us. I will be closing the store one week from now so if you wish to order anything, now is the time. Thanks to everyone who donated but sadly it hasn't been enough to pull us out of this hole. So this is just a Heads-Up that the site will be going on hold and when or if it ever comes back is impossible to say at this stage. Just to break even, pay medical bills and be able to move, we need at least $5,000 so that is our donation goal. Please help if you can.

If anyone knows of an apartment or house in Washington State, the closer to the Grays Harbor area the better, please contact us. Also if you can help out in any other way, it would be appreciated. I am still suffering from heart related issues so what I can do is limited. Myself and my two buddies as seen in the photo are desperate.....Ed
I would like to add; We only got evicted because Ed had a heart attack and money had to go on medical bills. Apparently if you get sick in this country you are fucked. We complained to the apartment management over the way we are being treated and their response was sorry but not our problem. The world is a cold, heartless place where only the rich or the extremely lucky survive.....Sally


PS: Bands can still submit their works for review. We will send them out to other writers if need be and we will post the reviews as soon as possible. 

I hope someone comes forward, out all the 1000's of Doommantia readers, there has to be at least one with money to give - Jack Sabbath.

It will only take one substantial donation and this nightmare could be over for Ed and Sally, come on people. At least one of you should have the money to get them out of this terrible situation - Doomm@anic

Donations stopped coming in a few days ago but NOW is the time, Ed needs them most. The readers saved Ed's belongings, now it is time to save Ed himself. Time is running out, please donate now. Please note that almost none of this begging for money has come from Ed himself, it is not his way to do that. This is coming from close friends and colleagues that don't want Ed to get more sick than he already is or even worse, die from frostbite or something or suicide from the stress and depression of it all. This is a grim, bleak situation, please help ASAP - Dr. Doom

  2. A country in which a man can lose everything in few weeks only 'cause he got health problems can't be called democracy. And that manager, someone should shot at his legs leaving him to the ground, so he will remember forever what is like to be victim of others evil

  3. That's grim mate, best of luck to you

  4. How about moving from that country...? Sell some stuff, start again somewhere else! When you face having nothing you have nothing to lose! At first it will be hard but in Europe health care is free in most countries or the price you pay is symbolic...
    I hope things will come together very soon for you...! :)

    Best wishes,
    An european!

  5. Hi Ed, I just sent $20 your way.
    It's not much, but hope it helps in one way or another.
    Your dedication in the Metal community is of great value.
    Hope you pull through.

  7. Wow, it's unbelievable this can happen to you in a developed country...

    I made a donation and I wish you the best of luck to get out of this mess.

  8. Fascist empire, oligarchy, doomed, brainwashed nation hell-bent on global domination and likely nuclear holocaust...call it what you will, but no matter the title, it is, and represents, the exact opposite of the feel-good propaganda and happy horseshit mythology people are raised to adhere to. You don't get a country this size to behold reality in such uniquely bass-akward terms without an astonishing degree of deeply ingrained social engineering! [as Wino nails it is "Brainwashed"]

    Best of luck to you and yours. Dig around for various financial aid/social safety net programs to apply for...even though the fascists have done a good job of putting their funding on the chopping block, and turning public sentiment against programs that actually HELP humanity [instead of bombing them for corporate profits] in some states there remains some help for the destitute - especially since your situation centers around a major health issue.

    Some hospitals offer financial aid applications for your type of emergency. Not saying you haven't already thought to look into it, or that hospital personnel didn't suggest it at some point during your treatment [once they realize you're without ins coverage], but many people are simply unaware that such help is possibly out there. The guidelines are always strategically skewed to ensure the largest bulk of the working poor Wage Slaves won't meet the financial criteria for such aid programs, but it sounds like you'd likely qualify for something.

    It's always the darkest before dawn...

    Take care, and hope to see the return of your blog!

  9. Thanks to everyone for their well-wishes and support and donations which have been amazing so far. I will be thanking everyone individually over the next few days but it will take me a while to get to everyone. I get choked up when I think of all the help that is coming my way. Thank You.

  14. I just discovered your wonderful website. I was heartbroken by this message of yours, so I sent you a small donation. Not much, but every little bit can help, can it? I will also share this through my Doom Metal band's Facebook page (Crimson Dawn, italian epic doom metal band), I hope it helps.

    Stay Doom,

  15. I just discovered your cool website, then found this post and... was heartbroken.

    I just sent you a donation through paypal. It's not much, granted, but I hope it helps you. I will also spread the word through my Doom Metal band's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/crimsondawnmetal), let's hope someone else will jump in and help.

    Stay doom and never surrender.

  16. I was off, didn't read this call for donation. I did one just by now. But it won't be enough. From France, reading that is really unbelievable. All healthcare is free here and suffering from heart wouldn't lead to any money spending. The little bit not paid by welfare would be taken in charge by private assurance that most of us can afford. Really, I would imagine that not to be punished for being ill is,more than anything else (except freedom to speak maybe)the priority right in a constitution. Hope you will think about all this shit one day saying it was a bad but past period. dk

  18. Started a campaign for ya yesterday! It looks like it's spreading pretty well so hopefully you see an increase in donations! We were talking today at practice about possibly trying to put together a digital compilation to help raise some money. Will try and get that going if we can. Best of luck Ed!

  20. Hi,

    I really wish I could rehouse you guys but being in the UK? Kinda far but I have sent a small donation and I will be putting up something on my site and social networking sites to get some help in for you.

    Although it all feels at rock bottom at the moment I have sure we can all help you get out of this and one day you can hopefully have a good story to tell.

    Look after yourself and if you need any help on the site then I am just an email away katie@ofbloodandoak.co.uk
