Caleb needs help paying rent and bills
Donation protected
Hi! Caleb here. I have to ask for some help.
Ever since I moved with Revolution (www.revolutionchurch.com) out to Seattle in November 2020, I have been struggling to find a job with reliable income to support myself. Relocating in the height of Covid to a city that takes quarantine very seriously was absolutely the right decision for me, despite the numerous challenges that came with these circumstances. Not least of these challenges has been finding a job to support myself.
To be honest, I do work very hard every day fulfilling my duties to Revolution--mainly in the area of production: technical work to produce the content released on Sundays--producing, engineering, editing, and occasionally leading live streams and podcasts of the morning services/gatherings--and Wednesdays--producing, engineering, editing, and hosting Meet Your Congregation podcast episodes. I perform similar tasks in producing content for Revolution Church Minneapolis as well as The Sacred Collective podcast. All of this work I do pro bono, on a volunteer basis.
Though these pursuits reflect my strongest passions, and provide me personal satisfaction and fulfillment, they do not in any way help to pay the bills . And so I have been surviving this long, thanks to the generosity of very supportive and charitable family members and friends.
At the beginning of June 2021, I finally secured a position at a local restaurant that would provide me with the income that I need to survive independently! However, because of red tape from quarantine-related policies that I should have anticipated and been better prepared for, I am unable to work at this job and receive any compensation until mid-July, to the surprise of both myself and my employer.
Fortunately, my boss has promised to hold the position that I was hired to work, until regulations allow me to resume working. However, in the mean time, all of the other resources that have been keeping me afloat have been exhausted. I will not be able to afford rent, bills, groceries, etc. for the next four weeks (God-willing no longer...).
I need help. In part, I hope that the communities and individuals who benefit from my ongoing volunteer work are motivated to contribute as they are able. Any charity at all will go a very long way right now. I won't point to any evasive divine compensation in exchange for donations. Though I will continue to provide the consistent content that I hope registers for the communities and individuals who consume it as real, pragmatic, tangible "blessings."
My monthly rent is over $1000, plus I have bills related to my apartment, as well as medical costs, (and a couple of payment plans for outstanding balances from my years living in Minnesota..). Of course, I also need to buy food and other basic amenities. That is how I arrived at my "goal amount."
Again, anything at all will really help me right now. And all donations will go towards the expenses that I have listed.
Lots of love, positivity, and gratitude from me to all of you.
