Aspiring CoD Player Starts GoFundMe to Chase his Dream After Being Made Homeless Once a rising star in competitive Call of Duty, Anthony \u201cDraMa\u201d Padilla has fallen on hard times and is asking the community for help to continue to chasing his dream. DraMa recently revealed that he had been made homeless, after he was evicted and then kicked out by his parents, saying that qualification for the World Championship in August was his \u2018only hope\u2019. But his team, Vertacon, were eliminated after two losses at the Last Chance Qualifier for CoD Champs, dashing his hopes of making the money he needs from the tournament. After claiming to have applied for ten jobs but receiving no reply, DraMa has put his faith in the community to help him out, starting a GoFundMe page. He explained that after failing to land a job, he saw it as a \u201csign\u201d to continue pursuing professional Call of Duty and to be \u201cthe best player to ever do it.\u201d Over the years I\u2019ve grinded my heart out trying to accomplish my goals but have felt short every year do to really bad In real life experiences. For example, this year I went through really bad depression and alcoholism and it really affected my life and Call of Duty career terribly. I\u2019m happy to say I\u2019m over that though. Unfortunately, a week ago I was Evicted from my home then kicked out by my parents, almost stuck living in the streets. I know it could\u2019ve been avoided if I got a job but I have a bad relationship with my parents. We don\u2019t speak very much and I wasn\u2019t told we were in bad debt. Everything just hit me in really quick and I wasn\u2019t ready for it. I did apply to 10 jobs and 1 agency FYI and I didn\u2019t get a single call. I even had @JoeyNubzy help me with my applications and still couldn\u2019t get one. I Thought it was sign to pursue CoD https:\/\/t.co\/IZNTmg2vmo \u2014 Anthony (@DraMa424) July 25, 2018 His attempt to qualify for the World Championship was, he says, \u201ca risk\u201d that didn\u2019t pay off. I took a risk after I got evicted. I could\u2019ve helped my family out but by getting 2 jobs but instead I kept pursuing CoD and tried to qualify for CoD Champs. That way I could get the $3250 to put my family back in a house and could get my time in the spot light to show the community that I was really good again. But DraMa claims he will reimburse everyone who donates when he \u2018makes it\u2019, asking anyone who does contribute to leave their Twitter handle as a message. I\u2019m asking for help from the CoD community please to help my family and I so I can keep on chasing my dream and make them happy again. I give you my word that I\u2019m going to make it, and that\u2019s on everything I love. I promise to pay everyone back once I make it so if you could please reply with your twitter @ on the donation, I\u2019d really appreciate it. With the WWII season now over for DraMa, he will presumably be focusing on the next title, Black Ops 4, set for release on October 12th, which will signal the start of the next competitive season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
