Help a Dedicated Father and His Daughters

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my partner, the heart and hustle behind Southside Dreams. He’s a single full-time father of two daughters, a hardworking creative, and someone who rarely—if ever—asks for help. He’s always been the one to grind, sacrifice, and provide without complaints.

Recently, he was hit with an unexpected financial setback. Due to a sudden remodeling at the restaurant where he works, he won’t be getting paid for the next week and a half. With no warning, this income gap has made it incredibly difficult to keep up with rent, bills, food, and everyday needs for him and his girls.

To make ends meet, he’s been selling off personal valuables, discounting merch from Southside Dreams, and even had to give up his only means of transportation—just to stretch what he has. Despite all of this, he continues to show up for his daughters and push through the pressure.

We’re asking for help to bridge the gap until his next paycheck. Every dollar will go toward basic living costs, transportation, and keeping things stable for his family.

This is a temporary moment of need—not a long-term situation—just a short-term lifeline for someone who’s doing everything to stay on his feet and provide for his girls.

Anything helps, and if you can’t donate, please consider sharing.
