Friends, your boy Nick Knave needs help getting back on his feet after a catastrophic accident destroyed his car, stranding him in Bumblef*ck, Nowhere with injuries and medical bills.

Nick was on a work-related road trip, passing through scenic Indiana, when a dangerously large pickup truck smashed into his little station wagon. Nick and his beloved dog Carla survived the collision, as did Nick's long-suffering business partner, Wolfie T. Wolfe.

Unfortunately, Nick had been traveling with all the physical assets associated with his forthcoming stage show, and those props and set pieces --which Nick had constructed himself-- were a total loss, due the the wreckage being drenched in rain after the accident.

Nick's new production --and the income he would have earned from it-- are now indefinitely on hold. Additionally, Nick had to pay an impound yard just for the privilege of retrieving what belongings he could from his ruined vehicle.

And Nick has been forced to burn through his meager savings to pay for a hotel room in a seedy Ohio town, pending his return to California. Naturally, Nick also has medical bills looming in his near future.

What Nick needs more than anything right now is the funds to house himself for a month and a half once he gets back to Long Beach.

Nick has supported and promoted so many talented people over the years, and his puppetry, comedy, and busking are always a joy to experience. Please contribute a few dollars to help Nick bounce back from this calamity so he can get back to the noble work of making people smile and think.
