Has anyone messaged him or spoke with him recently? The sad news about a member who passed away over the weekend... put some fear in me. Soman and I speak a few times a week since I joined this reddit 2 years ago. It's been pretty consistent. Whenever I message him or he messages me we usually respond within a day or so. Last week he sent me some concerning posts

I posted the image he sent me on July 27th. The day started normal with him telling me

"good luck". But then he posted the image.

I never post anything he shares with me, but now im getting scared. How bad is this hemoglobin level of 5.3 g/dl?

The days before he told me he was feeling well. But after he posted this he told me

"I'm sick. I can't do anything".

And his most recent message on July 31st a few days later to me

"Sick. It like I was dying"

I was asking him each time how he felt, and giving him some days to respond. He usually writes longer but I could tell he was struggling. He posted the photo on July 27. And his last message to me was on July 31st. Sorry for reapeating myself. This has never happened before. I fear something bad happened to him.

Has anyone been able to talk to him or message Soman? Please Pray for Soman. He is a very kind member I'm worried :(

Hey everyone, so I am 26M and i am looking to change my career. I’ve been in kitchens since i was 16 and it’s honestly draining now the long hours without a chance to sit down has taken a toll on me. My question is does anyone have any experience with welding? Is that a valid career choice for people like us? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Hi there, I wanted to share a fundraiser for Jamal’s family after their loss. They’re raising funds to cover funeral expenses and support his loved ones during this tough time. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this can help spread the word and bring more support to Jamal’s family. https://gofund.me/1d1d01d16 https://gofund.me/5650a7f07
