Help Save Steph's Boat!

Donation protected
Hi Friends,

So many of you know I live on a 40 foot fishing boat that I was lucky to have come into my life in May 2013. It is the home to myself, my two kitties Ruby and Otis and to my 5 month old puppy Miel. 

La Gata del Alma

I was in a 2 year contractor position which ended in November 2014 and I did not think I was going to be without full time work for over 5 months, quickly approaching 6 months and thus I have fallen behind on all my bills, and the most crucial bill of them all are the slip fees that I owe the marina. My boat has been impounded (chained in its berth) and will be issued a lien notice on April 1, 2015 which will allow the marina to legally sell my boat for a cost much under the value of my boat at 30 days from lien notice, so I'm reaching out to my community to help me save my home, my boat, my solace.

I am an incredibly fortunate person in that my friends have humbled me and have agreed to perform a benefit concert to help me SAVE MY BOAT, La Gata del Alma on Sunday April 12th at Il Pirata at 2007 16th Street in San Francisco from 5 - 10pm, doors open at 4:30pm, San Francisco with an all star line up that includes:
