Hello, my name is Belen and I'm writing to you today because I need your help on behalf of my husband and family. My husband and I have devoted our life to support others in need to remember their power and find freedom in being exactly themselves. We have been working very hard to help many people awaken and overcome the current darkness and chaos, but we can no longer do it without help.

For many years we have felt called to build a sanctuary, to create a place of beauty, slowness, connection, and abundance. And so, a few months ago we took a leap of faith and relocated from the east coast to my husband's home state of Montana to begin working towards our dream. And in alignment with that ultimate goal, we also came with the plan of creating and birthing a new business with a dear friend of ours, who soon would join us. This business was to support our life here and the beginning stages of the sanctuary. The plans were laid, the preparations made, and spirits were high. About a month into our new life here and at about the time our friend was set to come meet us, we learned that the preparations he had made weren't going according to plan. Everything on his end changed overnight. Then, in one day, everything fell through. He called us in shock and deeply distraught to tell us the news. Immediately following our learning of this, all other plans and agreements we had made for work that seemed guaranteed and secure also fell through. Since then Jonathan has been working every single day, taking on any job he can to make ends meet, while at the same time creating new, beautiful works of art.

To say it has been tough is an understatement. I watch him work through extreme pain, exhaustion, profound stress, and futility, with no guarantees, constantly having to pivot, shift, and recreate himself. And in spite of all the disappointments and upheavals, I see him get up and do amazing things each and every day with a positive attitude and a fearless courage that speaks for itself. He has done so much with nothing already! I believe it's only a matter of time, and that with some help from our friends we'll have it!

And so, today, we're temporarily living in our camper in a beautiful place. Every day Jonathan goes out door-to-door showing his powerful creations, praying for a sale, and making many beautiful connections. But we have yet to make a sale, and are living day to day, having faith we'll have enough to get groceries, but under constant stress of not having enough. The food insecurity and stress of not having enough has been extremely detrimental to our well-being.

Now, where we could use your support: we gotta make it the next step, til he makes a sale and gains momentum. Our priority right now is to have our basic needs met. Firstly, getting ourselves established and on firm footing with food, propane for heating, gas and sales travel expenses, bills, and art supplies. Then we'll need to find and acquire a place to live, while supporting ourselves financially with odd jobs, and art sales from an aggressive sales routine. From there we'll build the sales, marketing, and production process until everything is running smoothly and we are on our path to stability and growth. We've already started this step by recreating his brand and marketing materials, which Jonathan is sharing with those he meets. Finally, if it is in alignment with God and the spirits at work on our behalf, we'll build the Sanctuary, a place to find solace from the storms we all face.

Will you lend a hand and help us get through this winter first? We are already doing everything we can with what we have. We continue serving in every way we can, offering our work and our love.

Anything you give is so appreciated. What we receive will be used to secure groceries, make sure we are warm and safe, and able to continue creating and making sales, as well as offering our services. Your generosity will help us get through this next bit with peace of mind. Thank you for your presence and attention. May you be blessed for your kindness.
