Brandon Buckingham, a popular YouTuber, has turned to his fans for financial assistance due to a sudden and severe health crisis.

A sudden and severe health crisis

Doctors diagnosed him with:
- Acute systolic heart failure

Conditions that have proven difficult to treat. Buckingham's uncertainty about his future is palpable, as he admits he doesn't know if he will survive this ordeal.
The road to recovery
Even if he does recover, Buckingham faces a long road to recovery, including bedrest for 2 to 4 months. This means he won't be able to work and provide for his family during this period. To help cover his:
- Mortgage

- Medical bills
He has set up a GoFundMe page. He also encouraged fans to watch his YouTube videos, as the ad revenue would support his family.
