<div><strong>A New Beginning: Help Me Launch My Next Chapter</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hey everyone. My name is Samuel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The truth is, I disappeared for years because I was giving everything I had to my marriage and to a series of devastating health crises that followed. I'm now re-emerging and rebuilding my life from the ground up here in my new home of Mendocino County.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asking for help to launch this new chapter has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I'm so grateful for the community that has already stepped up. Between GoFundMe and direct support, I have 23 supporters and counting!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To be direct: I’m at a critical financial wall. </strong>The initial funds helped me land safely and stabilize my health, but they're now gone. I’m down to the wire for September’s rent, food, and healthcare costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>The great news is that the plan is already working. I am fighting to become self-sufficient, and the local momentum is real:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>I’m working part-time at a local farm (Mendo Grass), helping with everything from manual labor to business operations to help pay the bills.
</li>
<li>I’m in talks with several incredible local nonprofits (Hospice of Ukiah, The Senior Center) about how my AI consulting can supercharge their missions.
</li>
<li>I already have paying clients, and the Senior Center is even featuring me and my work in their upcoming newsletter.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support right now is the bridge that allows me to afford these basic necessities while I turn this incredible momentum into a thriving, self-sustaining local business.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can contribute, any amount helps me get closer to my September 5th goal of $7,500. If a donation isn't possible, simply sharing this GoFundMe with your network is an immense help on its own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being a part of this journey of rebuilding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.</em>
</div>
