<div>I am officially without a home and having to depend upon the kindness of friends at present. Please help me get back on my feet and get myself another home so I can stabilize my life. Blessings

<div><span><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span>Well we didn't get the $ quick enough and I have to be out of my home by August 16th with nowhere to go. I will especially need donations now so I can get into another place. I should have state disability and possibly federal disability within the next 30-60 days. So that won't come quick enough. Please don't let me be another statistic. My mental health is at an all time low. I really need your collective help. Please help save me from homelessness. This was solely my landlord's greed that led to all this. Please be my angels. </span><br />

<div># Help Art Criminal Crush His Eviction &amp; Launch His Next Chapter

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, I’m Todd Ivers, known as *Art Criminal* in the creative/Burning Man world and *Ranger Kali Ma* at Burning Man. For 24 years, I’ve been creating art, performance art, dance and serving our community as a volunteer in various capacities,, and as a ranger, protecting and guiding fellow burners through transformative experiences. I’ve even saved lives driving ride-share. Being of service is very important to me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m at a pivotal moment where I need community support to stabilize my situation and launch a sustainable art practice. Through a series of unfortunate incidences and ADHD late diagnosis &amp; burnout and unmasking, a housing dispute has created a $11,668 obligation that I need to resolve quickly so I can redirect my energy from crisis management to building my creative business. I am fighting an eviction that will be resolved with the above amount. The stress of this has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I’ve lived here for 25 years. Please help me keep my home. My own immediate family have turned their backs on me right when I am struggling most with my invisible disability; when I’ve burned myself out from compensating for nearly 6 decades. Please be my angels.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>## What I’m Building

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With housing secured, I can immediately focus on:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>- *Establishing a professional artist practice* - turning my Art Criminal work into steady income

</div>

<div>- *Returning to full community service* as a Burning Man ranger and activist mentor

</div>

<div>- *Creating original works* for collectors and supporters

</div>

<div>- *Return to the gig economy

</div>

<div>- *Continue the process to get on disability and thwart any future concern for rent.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>## How Your Investment Helps

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>*$11,668 total needed* to resolve housing situation and establish stability

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>*If I can raise an additional $5000-$7000 I can invest that in my art business to help support myself have the additional art supplies to insure fulfilling all my thank you’s.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>* If I can raise another $5000-$7000 beyond that I can trade in my almost 300,000 miles (I was driving 6-7 days a week 1000-1200 miles a week), blown head gasket Prius, and buy a newer one and re-enter the gig economy with a reliable tool. It’s one economy that a neurodivergent person like myself can work on their own schedule.

<div>## The Bigger Picture

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This isn’t just about keeping a roof over my head - it’s about getting a proven community contributor back to full strength. I’m ready to channel the same dedication I’ve brought to Burning Man and activism into building a sustainable creative practice.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recent challenges, including navigating a late ADHD diagnosis, have taught me the importance of focusing my energy strategically. With your support, I can stop firefighting and start building.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>## What Happens Next

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Once funded, I’ll:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>1. Resolve the housing matter immediately

</div>

<div>1. Dedicate June/July to securing stable income through art sales and other work

</div>

<div>1. Return to full community engagement. This would be my 25th consecutive burn if I can go &amp; the first I’d missed otherwise

</div>

<div>1. Begin fulfilling donor paintings

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m not just asking for help - I’m offering partnership with someone who’s spent decades giving back and is ready to do it again from a position of strength.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>*Main Goal: $11,668.22*

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution moves me from crisis to creation. Let’s build something beautiful together.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>-----

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please share this campaign - the more people involved, the lighter the load for everyone. Together, we can turn this setback into a comeback. This has truly been humbling. I truly believe that we have to be each other's angels in this life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

</div>
