Help Us Build Something Different — From the Ground Up
My name is Donald Arnold, and if you know anything about my story, it’s that I wasn’t supposed to get this far. For years, I was counted out—written off as a lost cause because of my past mistakes. People I once trusted still try to throw the past in my face. But here’s the truth:
I don’t live there anymore.
Alongside my partner Molly, we made a decision to rewrite our story. We relocated, set healthy boundaries, and most importantly—we put God and ourselves first. Since then, we’ve found a kind of peace we never thought possible. And we refuse to jeopardize it for anything.
We started SMG LLC to turn that healing into something bigger than ourselves. It’s a creative platform built on storytelling, empowerment, and resilience. We use our lived experiences to uplift others and challenge systems that silence everyday people.
Your support on this journey will help us:
- Refine our business foundation and tools
- Invest in continued education and growth
- Expand access to our resources so others can find the same peace we’ve fought for
- Inspire people who feel like they’ve been written off, too
In the past few months alone, we’ve:
- Moved into our own home
- Launched SMG LLC
- Published our first eBook, Aiden
- Scheduled the release of Through Fire & Faith for July 4th, 2025 ️
- And announced That’s Illegal, They Can’t Do That—coming this September 30th, all available on Amazon under my name
We’re not just building a business—we’re building a lifeline. For ourselves. For our community. For anyone who needs proof that you can start over and rise strong.
If you believe in second chances, in faith-fueled growth, in everyday people doing extraordinary things—we’d be honored if you’d stand with us.
Thank you for helping us lift our voices—and help others do the same.
With gratitude,
Donald Arnold
