Sometimes life throws challenges at the kindest people, the ones who would never ask for help themselves. This fundraiser is for my dear friend Crystal Maldonado, someone who has always shown up for others with love, strength, and generosity.

Right now, Crystal is facing Homelessness as she has 8 days to come up with the rent she is behind on. This has been an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time, not just emotionally and physically, but financially as well. Despite everything, she continues to show grace and resilience, but no one should have to carry this alone.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden so Crystal can focus on her daughter and recovering from a brush with almost going into a diabetic coma, rather than worrying about how to make ends meet. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly towards Rent.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping Crystal in your thoughts means just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read her story, and for showing kindness in any way you can. Your support truly makes a difference.

With gratitude,

Roben
