Lacey Man, Known For Giveaways To Those In Need, Now Needs Help
Rex Vengeance has made a name for himself on social media with his "do it on purpose" style of giving back. Now, he's in need of help:

LACEY, NJ — "Do it on purpose" is the motto of Lacey's Rex Vengeance, the social media influencer who has spent the past several years doing giveaways of small things like iPads all the way up to cars. But now, his community is hoping to give back to him, as he struggles with serious health issues.
Unfortunately, the 39-year-old was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with late stage congestive heart failure. Now, only about 20 percent of his heart functions, and he has to wear a defibrillator vest constantly due to the risk of cardiac arrest, his partner Breeana Warnick wrote in a GoFundMe for Rex Vengeance.
Rex Vengeance gained a following with his positive attitude and car giveaways. He now has 622K followers on TikTok and 628K followers on Facebook. Read more: 'Do It On Purpose': Why This Lacey Man Does Car Giveaways On TikTok

And even now, while struggling with his health, he's still trying to give away another car - a Ram pickup truck.
"Rex has spent years doing for others and keeping very little for himself. Paying for others groceries, giving away money and clothes to the homeless, and as said earlier even giving away cars to those in need," Warnick wrote. "He has done all of this without asking anyone for anything in return except to hopefully motivate and inspire others to be generous to strangers when they can."

He's struggling to pay out of pocket for his many doctors visits, and his monthly prescriptions cost in excess of $700, "and that's with using discount cards and programs while we wait for medical insurance, disability, and any other aid resources to process," Warnick said.
Rex Vengeance's motto is "do it on purpose." That means that once you start doing good things purposefully, you'll start doing them accidentally as well.
"For once I hope he can be on the receiving end of his own movement," Warnick said.
