Hi, our names are Alice Di Micele, Sherry Glaser, and Mori Natura and we are all close friends of Leslie Quinn (aka Princess Sparkle Pony to her Symposium sisters, wonderful singer/guitarist to music fans in Arcata, and goat doula to the farms she works with.) Our dear friend Leslie is in need of our support. After several years of pandemic, many family emergencies (medical, emotional, & physical) have left Leslie in a situation financially and emotionally that she simply cannot bounce back from without support from the larger community. Anyone that knows Leslie knows she is the first in line to help others and these last several years have taken a very big toll after caring for a family member in crisis. Leslie is currently looking at eviction from her home of many years (a humble rental apartment) and has exhausted all her finances and is unable to even buy food, pay her bills, or take care of her own basic needs. This situation is dire.

For the last several months she has humbly tried to pick herself up by the bootstraps but it is time for us, those that care for her to step up and lend a helping hand in this most crucial time for our friend. We know Leslie will pay it forward when she gets through this time but we cannot allow her to be homeless and living in her car losing all her possessions in the process.

Please be as generous as you are able. Even if that is $5... every little bit will help get Leslie back on her feet.

If you prefer, you can send her support through Venmo at @PrincessSparklePony

If you choose to donate here, you have the option of tipping GoFundMe or not tipping them. This is a free service that relies on tips. The only money they keep is for credit card fees. All the rest will go directly to our friend.

Thank you for your consideration, generosity, and love.

warmly,

Alice, Sherry, & Mori
