Fundraiser to fix flood damage at my parents house
hi, so i've never had to make a fundraising post but unfortunately my parents' house just suffered major storm damage that insurance is not going to cover at all because the roof was "in disrepair"
to summarize, on the night of december 17th there was a huge storm in the NJ area that dumped around 4 inches of rain in a very short time. my parent's were in the middle of getting their roof replaced, but unfortunately the contractor was going extremely slowly. this meant the roof was unprotected and essentially blew off during the storm, letting water ran into the ceiling and down the walls. the ceilings and all the drywall and insulation are shot and need to be replaced, and the roof especially needs to be replaced ASAP. they'll probably need a new contractor. unfortunately, the person they were using before did not have any kind of insurance coverage so his insurance will also not cover anything.
this is going to cost a lot of money and my parents have already been having a lot of financial difficulties the past few years. any donations are appreciated, even if it's a dollar. thank you!

Bringing back an OLD au where Plasmius and Phantom are demons, Vlad is Plasmius' vessel via contract to not die in the hospital and Danny is Phantom's (unwilling) vessel who was bound to him by Plasmius so his son (Phantom) could get outta hell.
***
Plasmius stared, very intensely. An intensity that would cause others unease and subconsciously try to escape his gaze.
Vlad however, was long since used to this and didn't even look up from his data pad. Plasmius stared down at the board between them, tapping a cla-finger, yes. Tapping a finger against the table as he stared at the many pieces decorating the surface.
It was a quaint thing, this game. Oh so very different than the ones the demon was used too and yet far more enthralling all the same.
The tiniest things that humanity came up with never ceased to amaze him.
He reached out a cla- finger (referring to it as such always seemed to give him the slip), to push a singular piece into a position that would surely give him an advantage. The demon looked, resting at his seat as he snapped his fingers, then making a gesture to the board once he drew his vessel's attention.
Vlad did a light sweep of the board with his eyes, before casually nudging a piece that somehow managed to reverse his careful planning and gave tipped the scales in the human's favor. He then returned to whatever little thing he did on that pad of his, most likely more and more work.
Despite himself, the demon couldn't help but chuckle as he stared down their little game. To think so much careful planning could be reversed so easily....
Human games truly are so fascinating.
***
Unnoticed to the demon sitting across from him, Vlad's eyes narrowed just a tiny bit. He ran a command on his tablet, opening up multiple views from cameras laid out through his 'base' and nearly frowned.
Someone else was working their way through.
He swiped off the cameras to run another command.
Good. The firewalls and security systems were still up.
Then who...?
His attention was drawn away by the snap of fingers and he looked up, then looked to the board. He did another light sweep of the bored, picking out various cracks before idly nudging another piece forward to give himself a small advantage to keep the game going and looked back down to his tablet.
He switched back to his cameras, picking up the familiar sight of a boy with glowing white hair and... Danny? Odd. Usually he doesn't accompany Phantom in his little game of superhero.
His camera glitched.
It was just for a second, something that shouldn't be of concern. But his cameras never glitched, certainly not after developing them to withstand either one of the demons' tantrums and especially what these ones were used for.
He returned to his firewalls.
Someone was trying to get in.
He ran a few other commands, calling upon a few defense protocols and a few AIs to keep whoever was trying to get in out.
He went back to his cameras, flicking through multiple until-
There.
He ran a small command, slamming the door shut on the small team of intruders. He then ran another, the security system in their area turning just a tad more lethal while shutting a door before Phantom and Danny arrived to it.
Good. The boys and these intruders wouldn't meet anytime soon.
He looked up at the cough from the other side of the table, coming to face Plasmius' questioning face. "Something wrong?" The demon asked, eyes glancing at the band around his neck.
Vlad calmed his heart and shook his head, moving another piece before going back to his tablet. "No, just something unexpected came up."
It wasn't a lie.
***
"Another locked door!?" Phantom growled in outrage as he stared at the door before him, claws (hands, hands his father said) held out as if he could physically threaten it to open.
"Yelling isn't going to open it, you know." Danny commented lightly, scratching the back of his neck. "I know that!" Phantom yelled out, looking at Danny as if he was the dumb one.
Danny rolled his eyes. "Let's just go another way then." He turned around and started walking before Phantom could speak. Said demon ran forward to walk in front of the Danny and had the gall to look offended. "Hey! You can't order me about! You're the sidekick!"
"You literally forced me into this." Danny pointed out.
"Details, details!" Phantom waved it off, pointing down the hall as he (tried) to strike a heroic pose. "Now off we go to defeat the dastardly Doctor!"
Danny just continued walking forward.
Phantom huffed and ran to catch up. "Don't just ignore me!"
Danny just shrugged.
***
"Sooo," He began. "Is it just me or is everything like, a lot more lethal?" Pointing out the obvious.
"Yep." A member of his team chimed. "But it isn't that bad! At least there's no giant robots-"
The ground shook as a giant robot stepped through a previously sealed door.
"I can't tell if that's just coincidence or you jixed us." Another member said.
"Well it could be worse-"
Another robot stepped through another door as lazers pointed at them from the ceiling.
"You jinxed us." He deadpanned.
