Hi there, my name is Jeunée Simon, and I'm starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my close friend, disabled artist Zedekiah Schild. While supporting his family out of state, Zedekiah learned that a fire had ravaged his home of over ten years.

In the fire, Zed lost all of his family photos, paintings and sculptures, guitars, and more--essentially all sentimental items that he treasured and held dear have been lost.

In the coming days, Zed will need to start rebuilding while also seeking out safe and reliable housing, which is incredibly challenging for anyone in SF, much less for artists.

Funds raised with this money will help to secure safe housing, purchase basic necessities like clothing and toiletries, and eventually help Zedekiah reestablish his arts practice.

Anything that you can provide will help to get Zed back on his feet so he can start the process of rebuilding.
