Hello beautiful beings,

As many of you know, last year I went through a difficult moment with my accident. In a time of vulnerability, I opened myself to receiving help from community, and the response truly moved me. The funds we raised covered a big part of the costs, lifted a huge weight, and gave me and my family more than financial relief: it was a symbol of hope. It showed me that when I open to receiving, it doesn’t just support me, it keeps the flow alive, so I can continue giving back.

This year, I’m opening myself again with humility and gratitude, not from crisis, but from a place of vision.

What this is about:

Over the past years, I’ve poured almost everything into our land, community, and regenerative projects. It’s been a labor of love, but also one where I often gave so much that I left little for myself.

Recently, after our truck and car broke down, we managed to get hold of a van. It’s a simple vehicle, but with potential to become a key tool for our mission. With the right repairs and upgrades, this van will allow me to:

Travel across Portugal and Europe to visit and support other regenerative projects, learn, share , grow and connect

Share our PurposeFlow ( follow us @purposeflow_living and check our website https://purposeflow.org ) learnings and expand our community impact and open more doors for everyone into the regenerative networks

Build bridges between initiatives that are creating a more regenerative, conscious way of living

Carry people, tools, and knowledge where they’re needed most

At the core, it’s not about the van itself, it's about mobility, reliability, and the ability to carry the mission further into other projects that have similar visions!

What I’m raising funds for:

My first priority is to ensure the van is mechanically strong and reliable. This includes:

Essential mechanical repairs and safety checks

Upgrades to ensure longevity and reduce breakdown risk

Then, if funds allow, I’d love to make some additions that help us reach more places and work in more varied conditions, such as:

Off-road suspension

Durable, all-terrain tires

These aren’t luxuries, they’re practical investments to make sure the van becomes a reliable partner in service, not another drain.

Why this matters:

I see this as a milestone in our journey. The van is not just for me, it’s a way to extend the reach of PurposeFlow, and to share regenerative principles with other communities and projects who are hungry for support.

To me, this birthday isn’t about receiving “things.” It’s about weaving deeper into a network of generosity, reciprocity, and flow. When you contribute, you’re not just helping me repair a van, you’re helping seed a future where our communities and ecosystems are stronger, more connected, and more alive.

During our time at PFL we have learned a lot of valuable skills, whether it's in regeneration, ecosystem restoration, permaculture, community involvement and stewardship and more! We wish to share this with others, supporting them to grow, rise and share their own magic with the world. We live in a moment in history where it is imperative to come together, where communities and regenerative projects have the power to shift the world into a more caring, conscious and respectful space.

So if you resonate with this mission, keep reading!

How you can help:

Donate whatever feels right for you, whether it’s small or big, it all makes a difference!

Share this with others who may resonate with regenerative missions, or who may have seen value in the ways I’ve shown up for people and projects over the years

Every euro, every share, every gesture helps me step into this next chapter.

If you are a community, project or regenerative stewards whether land or business, and would to cross pollinate and have support, reach out!

Thank you for even reading this far. Thank you for being part of my journey, whether through direct support, through friendship, or simply by holding me in your thoughts.

This birthday is not about indulgence. It’s about anchoring the tools I need to serve life more fully. With your help, this van can become a vehicle of regeneration, connection, and hope.

From my heart to yours,

Anthony
