Donate to Kasper James: Secure Housing and Artistic Vision

Hello. It's me Kasper James (Orlando).

Before the recession I was most commonly known as The Natural Born Tourist across social media as being a film and video producer in conjunction with many artists and organizations. I was rather self employed for this skill and enjoyed being a meaningful cog in the Ohio story telling x Marketing environment. I made multiple Music videos and was on my way to transcend and grow it into a larger platform. 2020 really undid all of that.

Rebounding I went back to work and attempted to work multiple jobs and was able to get my credit up and eventually move out on my own.

A week after moving (Oct 24) I had a lay off. Bills added up. I took out loans.

At the new job, My manager passed away within a couple weeks and after being assaulted at work, they failed to address it and put a ton of constraints on me, including failing to provide me my correct hours, leading to more debt and rushed response. (All Documented).

After calling off to provide police with evidence for a road-rage incident (on dashcam), and fearful of my life (pulled a gun on me multiple times) and possible further concerns, I was let go from my job while trying to deal with some ptsd and correct filing of said police report.

My housing is jeopardy. I have immediate and standing bills that need assistance.

I have reached out to some organizations and hope to obtain some short term assistance to cover some immediate housing costs.

I am facing eviction and know I am worth more than this. I have still continued to apply for jobs and have been trying to get unemployment as well giving the instance of the severance of my employment with the last employer.

I am still employed at a small business but the hours have been relatively slower than other months, as the restaurant industry is very hard during the winter months. So That has been unreliable.

I have applied for unemployment but given that my previous employer marked down that it was voluntary (I was let go, not by choice, via text), I have to now argue and that takes time.

I applied for housing assistance and helping fund this will help ensure I am able to transcend this months financial obligations and hopefully secure an attorney. I will keep updates on my socials regarding this.

If you know me you know I don't prefer to be a face or influencer with my face out there all the time but rather put my community and others on instead. Yes, I am more of a socialist who prefers to help others but in this time, I am very concerned and am at risk.

I need help. I don't want it, I need it.

If I can reach my goal by the end of this month it will me to produce a compelling video from the Floyd Protest (Columbus, Ohio 2020). In which serves as a really great case study. A particular individual redirected the entire protest and moved them through the streets to show them a disenfranchised neighborhood. This video is from arrival to end, in which I have captured the influencer of the movement appealing to the group and the entire protest group. The result is so compelling and emotional. I feel like this needs finished and this would really help make that happen.

I would love to provide this to the Columbus Free Press to share on their network and even possibly put on a major platform. I will cite credits of the top 10 contributors of this campaign and would love to keep you informed all on that such process after reaching my goal as well on my Instagram account for Thenaturalborntourist.

For anyone local to the Columbus, Ohio area whom wishes to assist, I have art up at TASTY DAWG on HIgh street for consideration. I have soo many more to rotate out and have been thankful to the Owner of Tasty Dawg for giving me the means to help giving me the space to share my art in a public space for the first time in over a decade.

I have every intention of transcending and really need your help this time.

I appreciate every ounce of help. But will definitely be keeping everyone up to date on my social media accounts as following:

I will keep the updates on KSPRJMS Linktree as they arrive.

Most likely I will diversify my journey on all the socials there.

Thanks for your support and kind words.

I am staying optimistic.
