Help a Luthier Rebuild His Life and Craft

Donation protected
Something I never thought I would or need to do, but here I am.

I'm a creative in every way. Working with my hands is everything to me.

2 years ago I lost my job of 20 years.
Over 300 applications/resumes sent. Nadda.

I am selling my house with the sole purpose of paying my debts. I will have nowhere to go. No job. No home. No money.

I am luthier (I make guitars) but now I’m losing my shop and any means to carry on. I’ve made over 100 guitars since 2018.

I’m 51. Worked since I was 14. I’ve never taken any kind of assistance. And I’ve always worked.

I want to work. I want to create.

I'm a woodworker, musician, Vet, photographer, and Dad.

I am just trying to find the will to carry on.
I'm alone. Haven’t paid child support in 3 months. I haven’t paid anything in 2 months.

I’m in dire straits looking for hope.

the money will be used for a space to create and sleep. Never anything frivolous. Basically a small poll barn with electricity and plumbing.

I want to be able to give back one day.
