Skyrim Modders Are Raising Money For A Fan's Life-Saving Surgery
The Skyrim modding community is coming together to help one of their own, raising $10,000 for life-saving surgery.

His friends hope that the money they raise will aid his recovery, allowing him to take some much-needed time to rest.

They ask fans to help him in his time of need, saying that he would do "anything for anyone, even strangers".
