HELP ERICK NOT LOSE EVERYTHING!

Donation protected

Erick is close to getting evicted and losing all the things he's worked so hard for and more. He just needs a bit of support at the moment so he can get back on track! Read his personal story below.

Hello my dear Guys, Girls and all friends of life,

This is not easy for me, since I already asked for help exactly this time last year. Everyone was fucking amazing and helped me get to Mexico and help my family. I am still so grateful for that and can’t repay you enough.

What happened now? I came to Thailand and totally f’ked up calculating my financials. I thought I could rent out my flat on Air Bnb and pay my rent in Germany meanwhile I kickstart my projects. One of my projects is the online store and the whole thing has taken me way longer to finish than I ever expected. Needless to say, I haven’t sold s%$&! online. Offline I have made enough to survive here. Living in this paradise is expensive, but do-able. That’s a big part of my problem. I tried to make time for everything but even after sleepless nights, sometimes just figuring out how to make money to survive here took priority. Now, I’m in deep shizz because I owe 3 months of rent, two of the guests canceled on me and I was counting on that to cover my rent. The biggest issue was a few unexpected bills that came to over 3000 euros, more or less what I needed to cover the rent. That was my emergency cash to pay in case of whatever. Now it’s gone, and I’m super afraid to lose my stuff in case of eviction or something similar. I have a lot of stuff in Germany that could easily cover the cost but everything is everywhere with friends and it’s a bit complicated to sell.

My brain is overloaded with all the stuff I have to deal with here and it would be easy to fix the problem if I was there. I can’t go back because no money to get a new ticket or change it. A “shitshow” in a few words. Long story short, I’m stuck here and can’t do much.

Here in Thailandia I’ve been selling my clothes, helping a friend to sell stuff from his weedshop (it’s legal here), VJ gigs whenever possible, and some design stuff here and there. I mean, I can make it to survive here but I only get paid in Thai Baht and at the rate the people can pay here. So surviving in paradise, as I mentioned, is ok, a bit rough at times but can manage. But paying for both places is insanely impossible.

I think once my store starts selling I will get back on track and maybe even more, but until that happens I need to figure something out, quickly.

I thought of making some kind of fundraiser to get back on top. I've been working super hard on the website and if you want to support me separately with that send me a message.

Some of you think that my shop won't make it so fast to get what I need, so my idea is to do this emergency fundraiser.

I ask from the heart to save my ass this time and maybe donate whatever you can to bring me and the business back on top and most of all to not lose all my gear.

I am open to ideas and I very much need the social media push, I am going to see how to get enough cash for some ads at least but this will probably take a bit of time.

I am back in April and we can plan something nice I will work hard to make more events that contribute to the community, and is not related to this fundraiser whatsoever.

I am making some silly videos, that may look like I’m only having a great time but trust me it isn’t always like the pictures. I feel like I want to make some more funny content to humor you guys and invite you to these amazing places because it is amazing, just don’t try the stupid shit I tried. I am not regretting anything I did, but I learned a lot from this fuckup and would do things differently, it is possible but I overshot what I had intended. You guys know me, sometimes too many ideas flood in and out so I am dealing with my mistakes however I can.

Sincere apologies for bothering everyone, and for sure if you want to join my adventure just let me know! Your boy Loco!

PS. Anything is good 10 bucks or whatever your pocket allows.
