Help support Gabe's paternity leave

Hi there. I am not great at asking for help; in fact, it makes me very uncomfortable. That being said, here goes...

I am a mostly self-employed music teacher and drum instructor. I LOVE my job; being a teacher is deeply rewarding. However, being self-employed, I have no access to paid family leave. As a new dad, that puts me in a bit of a pickle. I am trying to raise enough money to have a proper paternity leave, so that I can bond with my son, Hanu. I hope to be at home for a couple of months, support my wife and son, and create a stable foundation of trust and security for our growing family. It feels weird to ask for help in this way, but I figured it's worth a shot.

I understand that this platform is used to raise money for some serious stuff, and there are many worthy causes to contribute to. If you find yourself with the means, any support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Gabe
