I was laid off last year, and since then, unemployment has ended. I'm lucky to get freelance gigs, but I'm just scraping by, barely able to pay down debts. I need help. I'm a storyteller, a creative director, a narrative designer, and a lyricist. Over the past 20 years, I've built skills across audio production, photography, visual media, and community building. Right now, I'm building On The Fly Network—a creative community designed to support neurodivergent and underrepresented creators who, like me, don't fit neatly into the 9-to-5 box. I've been working on this for years, not waiting for permission or the perfect moment, just doing the work even when no one was watching.

But here's the truth: I'm drowning in debt while trying to build something that matters. My credit card has been closed and locked at a penalty interest rate, making it nearly impossible to make progress. Month after month, most of my payment goes toward interest, and only a small portion touches the actual balance. At this rate, it would take me years to pay it off—even if I never miss a payment. I'm not asking because I gave up. I'm asking because I refuse to. Your support goes directly toward paying off this debt so I can stop bleeding money and start building momentum. Every dollar gets me closer to stability, and closer to making OTF Network what it's meant to be.

If you've ever felt stuck between survival and your dreams, you know what this feels like. Help me get to the other side. Thank you for believing in me.
