Hey everyone,

Some of you may have noticed Erin's absence from the group over the past few months while working on stability for her mental health. For our newer members, Erin is the creator of this group and my very dear friend. She has been dealing with some financial hardships with her Husband Oleg who is facing some serious health problems rendering him unable to work as he has been in and out of the hospital for months. Without Erin, we all would not have the pleasure to have the connections that we have made here today, she made this space a priority for years. That being said, they need our help. She needs 4,000 dollars to cover her Rent by February as they are facing eviction. This is urgent, so please if you can not donate share this post instead. With rising costs all over the country, California is being hit hard. There would be no alternative for Erin and Oleg as well as their 4 animals. They would lose all their personal belongings with nowhere to go. So please contribute if you are able, thank you.
