Yeah I read and he is an addict. Need a help of course but in that. "It's not about him wanting to play WoW all day" He maybe don't want but he do, what is crazy. Nobody force him to live this life and he do this since years! I'm really sad to read stuff like this.
 

Yeah I'm sorry but when I needed to care about my mother when she had cancer I spent a zero hour with WoW and was my 10000000th problem. 
 

And what did you do to get any kind of a reprieve, time to yourself? My mother had Carney's Complex, a tumor causing condition (but they formed in places that will kill you, like inside your heart). In the period prior to her death, both my brother and I (who took turns caring for her when the other was at work or study), still made sure we had time to ourselves, and crammed as much as we could into that time, so that we could forget what was coming, even though it would only be briefly. To the outside world, it would appear that I was addicted to gaming, since that was mostly what I did, but I only did it while not having to do anything. Being someone's carer is not being at their side 100% of the time, it's being there for them when they need it. If they are asleep, you just keep yourself nearby and do something. You need your down time, too.

He treated DBM like a work-at-home job, which is what burned him out. He didn't give himself enough time to himself between both looking after his grandmother, and working on DBM. How do I know this? Because I have done this as well. Not with working on mods (I'm not that talented), but with other things. Things I used to enjoy, I now can't, because of just how heavily I used them to cope. Not just with Mum's health, but with my own.

 Different people having different ways of coping with things. My father died and I turned to wow, raiding and guildies to help me though my hardest times.  (Btw, my therapist thought it was a perfectly fine way to get though the hardest parts of grief)  

Instead of your nice high horse, why don't you be thankful and positive towards someone who has spent TONS of times doing things for other people in wow. Does it make you feel like a better person by being so judgmental of someone else?  Guess your mother never taught you "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."  Its people like you who make wow a sometimes toxic environment. 

It's cool that you find a way to get better but this guy have health issues from doing this since years so this is the total opposite of your story and yes of course in this state wow is a toxic environment.

Would suggest you highlight the one time donation part in the topic (that I found in the comments).    A lot of people who are reluctant to set up an account or commit to an endless monthly thing are far more agreeable to a one time payment through a neutral paypal.    Would probably get him more help.

Toxic because of people like you, maybe.
