This is, as JediTray said above, fucked up.
I believe DAYV needs my money either way. Either he needs cancer treatment, or he needs a psychiatrist.
I don't know DAYV (other than some brief interactions here). All I know is he would have to be screwed up in the worst way to fool an entire community like this, and to use his kids to do it. I don't want to believe he's that messed up. So I choose to believe him.
If I'm wrong, I deserve to be parted from my money.
Best wishes and health, DAYV.
