Stand with Keith: Restoring Hope After Assault

Pan Theater is sponsoring this GoFund Me for Keith. Keith has been an active performer at Pan Theater for over three years. He has just recently started teaching. Approximately 2 weeks ago he was brutally attacked in East Oakland.

Update:

Keith let us know that he came down with Covid last week. His brother had caught it earlier in the week. Keith tested positive on the 5th. He is recovering at home both from the attack in October and Covid, but it will be a bit before he is returns to work and improv.

He is focusing sleeping, drinking lots of water to give himself time to recover. He is hoping to return to work and improv in late November or early December.

Introduction:

Our community is coming together to rally behind one of our own, Keith Marquez, an exceptional improviser and a cherished member of our Pan family. Keith recently endured a harrowing ordeal in East Oakland where he was violently attacked by three individuals.

During this horrific incident, they stole his bike, his phone, and left him with a broken nose. Keith has been lighting up our lives with laughter and creativity for three incredible years. Now, it's our time to return the favor and offer him our unwavering support in his time of need.

Why Your Support Matters:

Keith is slowly recovering from being assaulted and his recovery is taking longer than first anticipated.

Due to loss in wages and increased medical costs the fundraising goal has been increased to $6000.

Consider donating any amount, any amount will help Keith get back on his feet.

Thank you for your support.

This GoFundMe campaign seeks to raise $6000 to help Keith with his mounting medical bills, replacing his stolen phone, and getting him back on the road with a new bike.

We are also seeking to help him with living expenses and costs while he is recovering and unable to work. He has had to push back several of his freelance projects that he relies on for income.

The attack has not only inflicted physical wounds but also left emotional scars. Let's stand together and lift the financial burden from his shoulders.
