Support Anthony's Journey: Fund a computer for Life Coaching

Dear Friends, family and community

My name is Anthony, and I’ve been proud to call San Francisco home for over 20 years. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with many of you through my work in the community. Today, I’m sharing something personal and asking for your support as I step into an exciting new chapter of my life.

San Francisco is a vibrant but challenging city to live in, and I’ve always been dedicated to giving back in meaningful ways. Currently, I work at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, helping individuals navigate addiction and recovery. Previously, I spent seven years helping others reach their fitness goals at Fitness SF, a passion I still pursue part-time. Additionally, I work three days a week with the PROP Program at Stonewall Project, guiding individuals as they work toward harm reduction or abstinence goals and navigate housing challenges related to there addictions.

Beyond these roles, I’ve embraced alternative healing practices, offering plant and amphibian medicine to those seeking holistic recovery. Many times, I provide these services at no cost, knowing the financial struggles that come with recovery.

While I love what I do, living in San Francisco is expensive, and I’ve often found myself balancing multiple jobs to stay afloat. Now, I’m in the process of transitioning my career to focus fully on my passion for coaching and healing. To make this shift, I need your help.

I recently completed life coach training and am building a practice focused on addiction recovery, harm reduction, people going through depression, PTSD incorporating, Fitness guidance, nutrition, and holistic healing methods like plant medicine, amphibian medicine and Reiki. To grow this vision and serve our community better, I need a personal computer—a MacBook Pro—to manage my business and expand my impact.

As my 40th birthday approaches on December 29th, I see this as a milestone to mark a fresh start. My mission is to empower others to heal, grow, and discover their inner strength. Your support will directly contribute to the work I’m doing to create positive change within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

Asking for help has never been easy for me, but I know this is a crucial step in continuing the work I’m so passionate about. If you know me, you know how deeply I care about this mission. Your encouragement and generosity would mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering being a part of my journey.

With gratitude,

Anthony
