I’m organizing on behalf of Craigster Shupe.  He simply does not have the energy to do this for himself.  Craigster’s mom died just before he tested positive for COVID 19 in August, and it’s been a difficult road since.  He’s been hospitalized several times over the months since then, and is now walking without a walker or cane and has been able to return to work part-time.  Every gain he has made has been an enormous struggle.  He is putting every effort into eating well and doing physical therapy. He needs a little help making up for 5 plus months of missing income.  He's become a COVID long hauler with the lasting side effects of COVID 19 making everything he does that much more difficult.  

I met Craigster in 2018 when I asked friends if anyone knew anyone who’d been to Burning Man. I had a ticket, a few doubts, and 500 questions. Enter Craigster, who convinced me that I could do this.  Since then, we’ve driven many miles together and volunteered together at the Temple. 

Craigster knows how to be radically self reliant, but he needs help to get to that point.  He is behind on rent and his utilities and has mounting doctor and health bills.   Anything you could donate would be helpful.
