Filling the Cauldron
On February 22nd I wrote about the situation involving Second Life creator Elicio Ember and his family, and so did Inara Pey. In short, Elicio’s father has suffered a major stroke, and the family is struggling to meet medical costs associated with his treatment.
Since then various groups of people have been putting together ideas, and we’re pleased to announce that we now have THREE ways in which people can and will be able to help Elicio and his family.
Filling the Cauldron
Filling the Cauldron is a week-long in-world event to be hosted at Holly Kai Park on the beautiful Blake Sea.
When
Saturday, April 1st through Sunday April 9th, inclusive.
What
- Live music and DJ performances at the park’s main events venue
- An art display inspired by Elicio’s work
- A silent auction
- A special Design a Garden contest with a very special prize
- A photo contest with special prizes
- A market area

GoFundMe Campaign
Available now is a special GoFundMe campaign organised by Vecchio Barbosa (Felix Büchler in RL), which is raising money to help Elicio and his family through physical world donations.
The campaign has Elicio’s full support and endorsement, as he is unable to run a campaign himself from Mexico.
If you would like to donate to help Elicio RIGHT NOW, please visit the GoFundMe page. You can also reach it via a link on the Filling The Cauldron website.
Ember’s Cauldron Shopping Event
Ember’s Cauldron is a shopping event which will run for a month between March 16th through April 16th. Organised by Lerochelle Destiny, it is a store-based event in which people visiting participating stores can purchase special items in the knowledge that 100% of proceeds from the sale are going to Elicio and his family.
We will be supporting Ember’s Cauldron via the Filling the Cauldron website, where you will soon be able to see a list of all participating stores complete with SLurls.
If you are a creator / store owner and would like to participate in Ember’s Cauldron, please visit their sign-up page. Please note than all enquiries on Ember’s Cauldron should be directed to Lerochelle Destiny.
