Help the Kennedy Family Get Back on Their Feet

This is one of the hardest posts I have had to make and weirdly embarrassing, which I didn’t expect. I hate feeling like any sort of victim, because that is not how I was raised nor will ever allow myself to think. Challenges are inevitable.. and I sound like a robot.

In early 2024 I experienced a stomach infection that left me mostly bedridden for ten months and throwing up multiple times a day. All of this left me completely unable to work. Surviving off of the government is a bad feeling and doesn’t meet many necessary monthly bills.

ADHD moment or I will forget..

Well over four years ago I couldn’t look at my guitar nor listen to ANY music. Everything made me feel sick, angry and out of sync with the rhythm of my path, and I had lost touch of the special connection we all have, yet generally hide, trauma, resilience and the ability to overcome in all forms.

I have worked jobs with discipline and integrity my entire life. I am also nearly three and a half years alcohol free. I am incredibly ready to do music again or to put my all into the proper job. No judgement on alcohol btw, I just suck at drinking. I believe I have written some super cool, new, songs that will be recorded by Tickle Me Pink this year as well.

Okay, currently, 2025AD, I get COVID the very next week of feeling healthy after the ten months of sickness and losing 40 lbs. This overlapped into a month of Shingles that finally became less terrifying last week.

I have begun booking shows, applying for respective occupations and we aren’t quite keeping our head’s above water incredibly well.

We are currently behind on rent, my car payments and child support etc (the state is about to revoke my driver’s license) Sub-note.. Why would you take the driver’s license of a non-criminal needing reliable transportation for a job?! Am I taking crazy pills?

The rad blessing in all this is that Katy, Shiloh and I have had to rely on faith that has always prevailed and will in whatever form that takes.

My wife Katy is insanely incredible and working harder than human. She graduates from her Master’s Program in Ayurvedic wellness in two months and directly goes into her MBA program. She is also searching for part time work after losing her job unexpectedly for zero misconduct or poor behavior. Her boss wrongfully decided to protest her unemployment claim and now we are waiting for a court date. This is delaying that money.

Any help would go further than you know. Thank you for your time and reading this long thing. Much love.
