Hi everyone, this is Erik from Outdoors with Erik. Many of you know my good friend Mark from Leaving a Mark Outdoors. He’s been right beside me helping transform yards and serving the community.

But right now, Mark is facing one of the toughest seasons of his life. He’s going through a divorce and had to leave his home. He’s starting completely over, trying to find a place to live and make sure his amazing kids are still cared for and supported.

I normally never ask for this kind of help, but Mark is family to me—and I know this community is strong. I’ve set up this GoFundMe to help him with a security deposit and basic essentials so he can get back on his feet and provide stability for his children.

Even the smallest donation will make a huge difference. And if you can’t give, leaving a kind comment of encouragement means the world.

Thank you for helping my friend Mark rebuild. Together, we can show him he’s not alone.
