Attention SU fandom,
Former storyboarder and artist on the Crewniverse Jesse Zuke (Formerly known as Lauren Zuke when with the Crew) is currently facing severe financial troubles due to them not being able to work as an animator anymore due to serious mental ailments. They are currently facing eviction from the apartment at the risk of being homeless and without a job. Luckily, their gofundme page has already raised enough money to pay off one month. However, almost the entire fandom still is not aware of Zuke’s current situation. Let’s give them all the support and spread the awareness!
Here is their gofundme page:

Here is their thank you video after reaching the gofundme goal:
I could say a lot of things right now but in the end, this is just really fucking important.
The fandom should be ashamed of what they did to Zuke, regardless of your personal feelings towards their opinions and work they did not deserve what happened to them.
So maybe give back a little/share if you can, because we owe a lot of what Lapis, Peridot and just the show in general are today to them.
The way that certain parts of this fandom treated Zuke is one of the most shameful and disgusting things that I’ve seen in 17+ years of participating in online fandoms.
Please, go and help them out if you can (or signal boost this if you’re not able to donate); let’s show some much-deserved love to this wonderful person.
I literally have no idea what happened because apparently i kept myself out of the toxic side of the SU fandom, but I’m gonna signal boost this tonight and tomorrow. No one deserves this kind of mess.
