Each $9 saves me 8hours trash-walks & of LA-fires

The happiest thing for me to do is to help others. Each & every day. 

The hardest thing for me to do is to ask for help for myself. It’s my kryptonite. 

But with my home -LA on fire - literally surviving in a hardly moving old truck (of my great friend Iron Man Juan - since 1 full year- a few miles from one of the biggest fires… and the wind still blowing way too hard, I have to at least try.

Not just for me… but to be able to complete something that truly might help so many homeless worldwide.

Something I have been working on ever since arriving in The States back in 2014. In full silence. Having the right VISA to be in the States but no working permit. And having stayed here (keeping myself busy with creating that) to give my kid a fair ‘once upon…’ in life, having a chronic disease & dark depressions since a very young age and being able to beat her inflammations and pain way better here. 

Being the reason for me surviving on trash walks. Ever since Covid hit. To never jeopardize her chances to get a fair ‘once upon’… in her life. And having been living in all kinds of locations: warehouses, tents, iron workshops, garages … ever since February 2020… (and before that in over more than 30 different short term rentals and places) …and a truck since January 2024, a year ago, when Covid got me so hard that I lost the garage that I was living since more than a year… (but my kid being safe somewhere else ever since )

Doing 8 hours of trash walks daily… and 8 hours of working on my bigger ‘LEGACY LEGO-block’ to make humanity compatible, collectible … in a gRATitude Attitude-way.

A rational solution -born between the rats (and absolutely being no saint, having made my lie-mistakes before, 5 years ago, when I was scared of ending up in homelessness or worse… having to take my kid to go back to a painful climate, back to her black depressions. But no excuses, it was so wrong of me) … anyway I anything I learned that it’s way worse to live in a lie, than to live in homelessness (which is also truly hard, don’t get me wrong) but that the worst of the worst is when seeing loved ones suffer and not being able to help them. So that’s why I decided to help humanity go from bitter to better, click by click, lego block by lego block… until it’s done. 

In short: the goal of my Royal Tea-Experiment. 

an ecosystem that wants to:

end homelessness

end cancers

and bend climate change

And so after years of non stop and for free working -patiently brewing - to help the less fortunate (while staying a decade with my curing/healing kid in the States, having a VISA but no working permit and never wanting to jeopardize this blessing regarding my kid’s health, having to state ‘how’ we paid it all, month by month in my case the last five years via trash )… I now need to find ways to help myself a bit to be able to get a new start in life. Or at least to be able to bring my experiment in the right hands and still finish my personal wish, my fiction book

Most of all, my health needs me to start doing things differently… and the fires of LA are making me scared. For the first time since being homeless… I’m truly scared. 

It’s time for me to make sure that all time -10 years- that I have invested to help others… does get a fair chance to come to the surface. But I need to still be around to make it happen. To get it started. If any sword, I’m willing to die on.

That’s why I need to find some money to pay the needed medical preparations (I have sin cancer and am dealing with hard to cure infections after being violently attacked in an LA park in April 26th…), the moving and having at least something simple to live in a new country to be safe. For me, my doggy & my best friend. Starting really from zero. Only owning 1 suitcase and two old iPhones. Ever since January 2014.

The above explaining that big $$$$$$ start amount… if ever a hard one to dare to ask. A hard number to give.

HOWEVER… (!)

at the same time… being truly grateful for each $9 of donation you might consider to help me. 

This being an equally big blessing because of saving me 1 day of not having to do trash hunting to survive in the streets of LA … and so to be able to focus all day on the finishing of my ‘Royal Tea-experiment’ to try to help the less fortunate of our world.

Something I have been patiently building for years … while reminding myself why doing it by counting my blessings seeing my happy kid… and by face to face helping at least one homeless a day by giving them one cup of ‘Royal tea’ … and especially my listening ear, during my daily trash walks.

The amount of cups always being 1% (1 royalty / royal tea) of the total amount I make with my daily trash walk … my recycle ♻️ hunting. 

The only way I’m allowed to make money in The States based on my VISA. Doing this full time since February 2020.

And next to that working non-stop -since 2012- on the bigger ecosystem based on royalties, worth of mouth, collateral happiness … and humanity’s first United Bank Account to unitedly create global tipping points in this world regarding ending homelessness, ending cancers and bending climate change. 

While tipping negativity to positivity web 3-click by click…

All based on one simple ‘Legacy LEGO-block’ that can make all humans compatible, competitive (healthy) & collectible (indeed)… while being founded in kindness and courage. 

A LEGO block based on an (almost) globally granted patent since 2019. A patent of a system and a technique. Not in my hands but knowing the owner really well … & his good heart as well. 

Where I have added all needed business models, features & ‘Bella-Bells’ … to truly make it the ‘Patent of the People’

My gift to the world.

A decade of work. 

But as said: where helping others is the easiest and most natural for me to do… asking help for myself… is the hardest. 

My health is suffering because of five years of homelessness and survival in challenging circumstances. No complaints, don’t get me wrong … but still I need to be able to finish my decade of work. I’m at the last 5 %. However, daily hour walks between trash cans in a more cold LA, less filled … and next still needing to walk an hour back and forth each day to a Mc Donald’s to be able to charge my phone (I made all on 2 old IPhones) to work and to get WIFI/online .. do weigh on me in these last months. 

So for every $9 that I get… I save one day of not having to do trash hunting to survive … and to focus for a day, on the finish line of my project. 

And once it (=my gift to humanity) will be done … next I hope to be able to travel to my next destination in a cheap challenging country … where I finally will be able to make money again. But to get there, I’ll need some funds. To avoid ending up in the streets there as well. Especially there. And to be able to take care of my health. Which in mother country Belgium is way too expensive because of needing to finance the first 2 years myself. Having not lived there since 2014. 

But that being the bigger picture. 

Still for now, each $9 helps me a lot and would mean the world to me … if you could help a bit 

Plus each $9 will help me to stay alive in these fires, keep the truck running … if needed to escape, plus to charge my phone. And provide me with some water and medication that I otherwise pay from my recycle money... but today the trash cans are getting more and more empty… (And maybe just maybe help me to get my phone subscription back on again… so I get all the updates of the fires and where to go… right now I survive on Mc Donald’s visits to get WIFI (but often not on/accessible these days because of the power cuts in this area) , and free hospital WIFI… )

But no complaints, grateful to still be alive. Grateful to still be able to help.
