FIM has had that magic touch that personally gets to bronies. Very often, you see, hear, or read stories of how this show has helped people become better, if not saved their lives. A few years ago, one user here gave $630 to the Forums as a way to show how much this show saved his life.

Some of you might be familiar with Ashley H, a YouTuber who has posted voice-acting and editing work on her channel, particularly her magnificent series called "Remembrance." Last week, she posted a vlog of how this show saved her life and how the brony fandom both welcomed her and revived her confidence. I highly recommend having some tissues around when you listen to what she says, because this story gets really heartbreaking.
