Dear Supporters and Beloved Community,

At HM157, our passion for art, music, and community has been the heartbeat of our home for 15 remarkable years. Today, we face an

urgent crisis threatening our existence. The specter of closure looms over us due to a series of setbacks, including substantial fines from

city inspectors and the urgent need to rebuild our deteriorating

stages .

This unique haven, our sanctuary for creativity and compassion, has weathered storms, hosting free music events, movie nights, fashion

shoots, and extending a helping hand to the homeless during the pandemic and beyond. However, these challenges have pushed us to a

precarious edge, endangering our ability to continue our mission.

We turn to you, our cherished community, in our hour of need. Your support can make an immeasurable difference in preserving the legacy

of HM157. Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly aid in repairing our stage, addressing city fines, and ensuring that our doors remain open to continue nurturing artistic expression and

community support.

With your generosity, we can sustain this invaluable space that has served as a beacon of creativity and compassion for all who walk

through our doors. Together, let's write the next chapter of HM157’s legacy, safeguarding its place in Los Angeles history.

Join us in this crucial endeavor, and together, let’s ensure that HM157 continues to thrive as a cultural cornerstone in our city.

Here is a list of things that need to be done .

City inspector fees - $ 3000.00

A new sound system - $ 2000.00

New stages - $ 3000.00

New tipi to fix the deteriorated one for an art space for Artists - $ 1000.00

General repairs for our home which is incredibly ancient . The home was built in 1886 - $ 1000.00

Thank you for standing with us and being a part of our story.

Warmest regards,

Reid, Angie and Jackie and the HM157 Community
