Hi Friends - my building was just hit with a surprise special assessment to cover emergency structural repairs and a full reconstruction of the facade. LA city requires that the repairs be made immediately. The cost was unexpected and steep, and I'm responsible for a significant portion of the total. As a result I'm working hard to raise $20,000 to help cover my share of the repairs. This building is my home, and I want to do everything I can to keep it safe and secure. Any amount you can contribute - no matter how small - would mean the world to me. Thank you for your support, generosity, and kindness during this stressful time.
