The Orphaned Robots Guild was an organization dedicated to offering financial support and work opportunities for robots who had never been sold or no longer had owners, including many who were defective or broken beyond repair. It relied on volunteer donations, and its funds skyrocketed after HoloVision actress Amelia Urosoki donated thirty seconds of airtime. Sadly, temptation got the better of its executives, who spent most of the money on oil for themselves. The scandal nearly destroyed the organization and it remained a shadow of its former self for centuries, until it selected Tinny Tim as a spokesperson and he was able to guilt-trip people into donating again.
