Hey y'all,

I'm not thrilled to be putting this together, but life has been very tough this year. I struggle to ask for help, but I know a lot of pretty awesome people and one thing I have learned is that you should give people the opportunity to help and show love.

This year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs. My fiance, Danyale, and I both have chronic health conditions that have required a lot of Dr's visits, medications, and in Dany's case a couple of surgeries. Dany is battling an autoimmune condition we're still trying to diagnose, as well as POTS, Degenerative Disk Disease, and several other diagnoses that prevent her from working regularly, and any of you who have known me for the last 10 years know I have struggled with severe joint pain since I was a young man, and unfortunately have a passion and talent for very physically demanding work in metal fabrication.

I have started my own business, Arda Atelier LLC, following 10 years of work that I love with Darkwood Armory, but needed room to grow and earn more to start our family. Its very difficult, however, to build a business with no disposable income or capital, and my used equipment (and vehicle) have been breaking down constantly. I'm spending money fixing things faster than I can use them to make money

On the other hand WE'RE GETTING MARRIED this spring!!! and trying to make arrangements for the wedding and our future living together.

We're asking for whatever you feel lead to give to help us through this season and build for the next. I'm specifically looking to pay down bills, get necessary equipment for my business, and try to save up for the wedding and moving in together. Any amount you can give to help us will be gratefully accepted!

All our love,

Rock and Dany
