A Sense of Community

The Rooster Teeth fandom is far from perfect, but I promise we come together when it matters.

Monty Oum is an employee at Rooster Teeth. He is best known for writing RWBY and doing the fight choreography and motion capture scenes in RWBY and Red vs Blue. He's also a great dancer, a dog person, a loving husband, and an all around wonderful person. Today, we found out that Monty has been hospitalized. "He is currently hospitalized in critical care and it is not known if he will recover. He is receiving the best medical care possible and is surrounded by both family and friends who love him very much."

A go fund me page was created in order to help Monty's family with his medical expenses. The ultimate goal was $50,000.

In the span of 5 hours, they have raised $100,500. And if I know this community at all, that number will only continue to rise until the man we all admire so much is back home with the people he loves. It is the absolute least we can do for a person who has brought so much joy to our lives.

Sending love & prayers to Monty and Sheena in this difficult time.
