Ariel almost lost his fingers.

Donation protected

Ariel- or Rel as many of you all know him, has gotten himself into quite a pickle.

Unfortunately, last Tuesday (6/8) he had an accident involving two of the fingers on his right hand, a freshly sharpened chef’s knife, and some hardcore dishwashing. During this event, that pesky knife managed to sever all of the tendons in two of the fingers.

Ariel is a tattooer by trade, and if you haven’t guessed it already- his right hand is the moneymaker. While I know he’s going to kill me when he sees that I created this fundraiser, the truth of the matter is- with such a long road to recovery ahead of him, he may be unable to work for an extended period of time.

On top of being one of the raddest tattooers I know, Ariel manages to keep a roof over my head as well as our four children. Truth be told, he is also the best dad on the planet, peacemaker of our home and literally the kindest soul that anyone will ever get the privilege to encounter.

With everyone, including ourselves, taking such a hit this past year during the pandemic, we had such high hopes for the world to reawaken this summer and make up for lost time. Unfortunately, this accident is a major setback for our family.

So I’m asking, if you have it- to please lend a hand during this crappy situation that Ariel has found himself in. Help me keep his head up.
