    Well.. not to be too negative, but getting into streaming and actually making money off of it isn't as easy as you might think it is.

    You don't want to be someone looking too much for money. If you do so people will despise you because all you want is money. I don't know what else to say than that.

    Yea i figured that, I'm just looking for different ways to help. We already setup a donation thing with Facebook. Worth a shot to see if i could do anything using WoW so i could help out best of both worlds i was hoping for lol. Thank you

    Your probably not going to make money off of streaming; all of the big streamers never said; "I'm going to make a ton of money off of streaming today!" They either were already popular players with a fanbase when they started streaming, or quietly began gathering a large audience over several years.

    Doesn't Obamacare let you join up with existing conditions? Seems like lupus would be covered if so.

    1. Be female
    2. Show generous amounts of cleavage on Twitch while you play WoW, or any game really, they're not going to be paying attention to that part of the screen.
    3. Set up a Donate! button and you'll be set.

    It's Rituxan infusion shot was originally for arthritis but they have been doing test on those with lupus, it's crazy how expensive these are even with insurance

    Unless you are really good, really funny, a chick who shows a lot of cleavage or genuinely fun to watch, you will have a hard time getting money from it. Even more so if you are just starting out. I would advise looking at other ways if you would literally just be starting off. It wouldn't pay off too fast.

    Wait, they are testing this? And yet you are still paying a huge sum like that? "sigh" must be here in the US. Where medical stuff is priced Much too high. Including schooling to the point most people go specialized or not at all since being just a general doctor doesn't help pay off the debt.

    That's considered cheap here in the US where we have new pills coming out at $20k+ a pop.
