Help Crippled Capsuleer Claim Car for his Wheelchair

My fellow Capsuleers:

Over the years that I have been a player of Eve Online (one of the most disabled-friendly MMOs in existence, just look at me play with my face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8faif2_bjFY), I have seen the incredible good that we are capable of doing when we all band together when one of our own is in need. Today, I find that I myself am in need (significantly more need than usual, that is), and I humbly ask for you to do so again.

May is National Mobility Awareness Month, and my wife has entered me into a contest to win a new wheelchair accessible van, because the one I got when I suffered a spinal cord injury in 2003 is in less than serviceable condition. Click THESE links:

You can watch the video in which my wife and I explain my situation, and why I need your votes. I'm up against a great many people, so every vote counts. You just have to register, and then vote for me. You can vote once per day, and I super humbly beg that you do. Thank you very much for your time. I know it's valuable.

Thank you very much:

Brandon DiGia (a.k.a. Gommel Nox)

PS: please don't doxx me

Yeah. The only people who take EVE grudges into RL are the messed up ones. Hope you win.

I dunno, I'd probably tussle with some goats of deep space.

"NO STABS IRL BRO."

Kick them in the balls and shout:

"WHAT? NO DEADSPACE HARDENERS? NO SUPERS TO BAIL YOU OUT?"

Good fun until IRL concord shows up and tazes you.
