Humble Request for a Path of Exile 2 Key

Hi everyone,

I feel a bit ashamed writing this, but I’m at a point where I need to reach out. I’m a longtime fan of Grinding Gear Games and have been so excited about Path of Exile. I’ve always wanted to fully experience the game, especially now with Path of Exile 2 on the horizon, but unfortunately, life’s been throwing curveballs at me lately.

Just a few days before I had surgery for a cyst on my parotid gland, my job contract expired, and my employer didn’t renew it because I told them I’d need to take a sick leave. Since the surgery, I’ve been recovering at my parents’ house because my left side of the face is currently paralyzed, and I’ve got a long scar on my neck and around my ear. I’m going to physical therapy every day in another town, and they’ve told me it’ll take at least a month for my face to start healing.

This situation has left me unemployed, unable to work outside of home, and slowly getting into debt. My parents are helping with medical expenses, hospital visits, food, and everything else, and I already feel so guilty about relying on them at 29. I can’t bring myself to ask them for money to buy a video game, and I’d never lie to them about needing it for something else.

Between the therapy sessions and the face exercises I have to do in front of a mirror, I have a lot of time to fill, and Path of Exile would be such a great escape right now. If anyone has a spare key or feels like helping, I’d be forever grateful. I don’t need anything extra—just the basic game would make my day.

If I ever get to the endgame content, I’d even share my divine orbs with the person who helps me out as a token of my appreciation. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way. I just wanted to put this out there in case someone can make my day a bit brighter. No pressure, of course—I completely understand if it's not possible.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to help, or send a friend request here, or on Steam.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you all have an amazing day!

EDIT: I just got the key, and I'll make sure to repay the kindness once I fully recover!
