Help Ed rebuild his hobby space after a house fire

On December 18, 2023, my life was turned upside down when a devastating house fire destroyed my townhouse and a significant portion of the contents within it. Many have reached out to me over the past few months and shared stories about how my gay social media posts over the years inspired them to pursue their own passions or how much the time they spent in my hobby space meant to them. The community has been amazing, and your kind words have meant the world to me as I've tried to work through this difficult time. So many of you have also asked me how you could help contribute to rebuilding and encouraged me to create a space where they could donate, so I've established this GoFundMe in response to the outpouring of support I've received.

I am grateful that no one was killed or injured in the fire, but it has taken away many cherished personal items and memories which I've collected over the past 20+ years. The financial burden of replacing these items is incredibly overwhelming, and the money received from insurance will unfortunately not cover everything that was lost.

I am humbly asking for any assistance you can provide, whether it be through a donation or sharing this fundraiser with your network. Your help will make a significant impact on my ability to rebuild my hobby space and move forward from this challenging time.

Thank you for considering supporting me during this difficult period. Your kindness and generosity mean more to me than words can express.
