Help Cousin Danny publish his book (Dec. 2022)

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Cousin Danny. I am a Youth Speaker and Creator of Happiness is NOW Experience. The Happiness is NOW Experience (HINx) is in its 11th year of existence and soon to spread to over 600+ elementary, middle, high schools, and conferences throughout California and North America.

When people see success, they often see the end result. They never knew the behind-the-scenes. What makes Cousin Danny? How did I get to where I am today? Why do I do what I do? These are just some of the questions that I can hopefully answer through my book.

This book "Becoming Cousin Danny" honestly makes me scared and vulnerable. This is me telling people about my 10-year journey to discovering happiness. It's a tell-all book with pieces of information I would rather not broadcast to the world. But these are also the same things that people, especially the youth so close to my heart, can relate with, find inspiration and hopefully help them get through the darkest times in their lives.

After years of working with the youth, I understand their struggles, for I had the same struggles. From fear of being different, wanting to fit in, struggle with sexuality, low self-esteem and more, I get it. I walked it.

I've also worked with people from different walks of life. This is when I realized, we may all be different but we all live for happiness.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Although "Becoming Cousin Danny" is a year in the making, it takes 10 years of my life to finally create and complete my story. It's 10 years of self-discovery, healing, finding happiness and spreading love, positivity and happiness.

Through this part-memoir and part-guide book, I am hoping to inspire and encourage many not to be scared of finding their passion, discovering their own version of happiness, inspiring others through their life and embracing their story.

WHY I NEED YOUR HELP
I wouldn't be where I am today without my family and friends help. And that's when I realized that for the book to be published, I would need lots of help from our community.

I'll provide updates on my progress throughout this campaign (4 months). I'll also post some sneak peek of the book - just for you.

Thank you everyone for your help. It's comforting to know that lots of people are in this with me, helping me get my story to whoever might need it. I cannot do this without you.

Much gratitude,
Cousin Danny
