Hi, my name is Erin and I’m from Minneapolis. I‘m doing this fundraiser for my boyfriend, Andy Gifford, to help him pay for rent, bills, gas, and groceries until the government opens up again.

For those of you who don’t know, Andy is an essential employee for the federal government. He’s required to go to work without pay while the government is shut down.

So, I’m asking for anything you can spare to help Andy stay afloat till the people in charge do their jobs and reopen the government.
