Hi, I'm a good friend of Marks. Over years I've had the pleasure of watching Mark extend his heart to all those around him. He's always willing to lend a helping hand. Recently, Mark left his career as a chef, due to the toll it was taking on his body. Mark's next step was to pursue his passion of yoga and is now an independent contractor as a yoga instructor.

His life as a chef caused damage to his neck (permanently fusing vertebrae) and his knees, requiring knee surgery. His knee surgery was October 14, 2021 and while he is recovering he is unable to work. Mark is a man of little need. He stays optimistic, loving and forever grateful for the little pleasures in life.

The money we are raising is to help Mark cover living expenses, i.e., meals, housing, gas, while he is unable to work.

Anything helps and I'm sure will be reciprocated with tremendous gratitude from Mark.

Love to each of you who have read this <3
