DJ Zach Tyler, Urgent help needed while surgeries pending

I am DJ Zach Tyler, aka Zach O'Claire, I have been a DJ since 87... I have been a known and contributing member of the music community for decades between Chicago, SF, LA, and many other places globally. I need your help saving my home and keeping bills paid while I am medically sidelined and out of work.

Some brief accolades, key and OG member of the SF PLUR movement, DJ & Producer for 20+ years in the SF bay area, and now a Label manager and Independant artist for Greentree Records. I was also a notable IT guy and Tech genius for many companies (granted they hold no value in post work life... oh the gratitude for all of it).

I contribute most of my sets, music, and help to the community for little to no charge because I always had enough to allow me that privilege! Unfortunately, the wear and tear on my body has caught up with me in many ways, and I simply need help after exhausting all other financial avenues.

I am seeking short term financial help to keep my dreams alive and my home mortgage paid while i am pending multiple surgeries and being hit with several medical issues. I have exhausted all of my financial means to keep all of this intact.

All donations are being used strictly to cover my mortgage, utilities, phones, and if anything is left over to also help with upcoming renewals for my Soundcloud and Website annual fees. I have several job applications in with local retailers and other stores to try and even get basic employment or at least the interview process going while I am pending surgeries etc.

I am at a crossroads in my 50s, between work and military service related health issues that are sidelining me, I am no longer able to afford basic costs to keep my dream alive for the community, my family, my friends. I have exhausted everything.. retirement, savings, and more to keep this dream going. Here is the kicker... I am a notable guy, I have published works (music doesn't pay the bills sadly) and have been trying to make My life dream a reality for others at the push of a button or two. Have something really rad to pass on to my nieces and nephews, and make a creative space accessible to all.

I am swallowing my pride at this point and asking for help. As a US Navy Veteran, and accomplished independent music producer I need help! I am currently waiting on surgeries for my ears, neck, back, and other areas of concern. I am one of the unlucky 11% of covid vaccine damaged people and also a legitimate disabled combat veteran (Red Sea Service 2x).

I always prided myself on my ability to give to others, but I have hit a rough spot in life, am waiting on medical care, enrolling in disability, VA care (what a damn nightmare... my experience with VA has been anything but good) and have long waits that my home mortgage cannot wait for. As far as this home it was built pre 1900 (circa 1879-1881 esitmated), we are taking measures to try to get it listed as both a local and national historic site. It is a very special place and our rehab efforts are finally starting to show. Point is beyond helping me you are also helping in an effort to save and protect a vintage American Gingerbread Victorian farmhome intended to be a safe space for all!

Here is to hoping all the good I have tried to put out there comes back in some form or another. Your boy is struggling... straight up... and with the pending surgeries I am limited in what I can reasonably do or even jobs I can apply to!!!

Any contributor has free access to my recording studio, I'll give free tracks releases I have coming. I just need help right now, and am beyond fearful of becoming a begging vet on the side of the road with no home. That is where I am at and I am again sorry to even beg for help but I am beyond my personal pride in all of this and just need help... desperately.. Much love and Thanks to my Fiancee, family, friends, the global Psytrance, Techno, House, Twitch, You Tube and other communities I am a part of.

To be clear this is not necessarily about saving my gear, I will have some devices going up for sale soon, it pains me to break down some of the studio or get rid of spare gear that I can repair and sell at this point, but everything is replaceable... (except my vintage synths, but even one of those may be going up for sale :( )

This too shall pass! I will recover, I will find a path forward!
