Hi, my name is Josh, and I’m organizing this fundraiser for my close friend and coworker James. He’s not just someone I work with — he’s one of my best friends. We share the same passions: vintage clothing, going to concerts, rare toys... yes TOYS and building positive hobbies that give us something to look forward to every day. #dripgods

Recently, James’s home was hit by a fire, and in a matter of minutes he lost nearly everything — honestly the price in clothing i personally would consider priceless due to knowing that he has spent more money on a pair of pants than i have personally paid for a car... ballpark.. over 10k no joke... like way over.... in addition to the clothing, rare collectibles, and personal belongings, along with the basic essentials he needs to live and work. These weren’t just “items” — this was something he worked hard for, took pride in, and built over time as a positive part of his life. Clothing is our CULTURE and if you have ever meet James you would know that the passion in his fashion is on another level. JEDI KNIGHT BOSS LEVEL.... and then...

Right now, the Red Cross is helping him with temporary housing, but once he’s able to move somewhere permanent he will be starting from scratch. He’ll need clothing, a bed to sleep on, furniture, and basic home essentials just to function day-to-day again.

It’s heartbreaking to watch a friend lose years of progress and personal growth in a single night. James is someone who brings loyalty, laughter, and real friendship into people’s lives — and now he needs people in his corner.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping him rebuild, including:

clothing and essentials for work

a bed and basic furniture

household necessities once he moves into a new place

Anything you can contribute — whether it’s a donation or even just sharing this link — makes a real difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping James get back on his feet.
