Support Deremiah's Journey to Overcome Homelessness

*Help Deremiah Rebuild & Inspire Through Art

Hi, my name is Deremiah, the artist better known as Deremiah *CPE. I’m reaching out to you today to share my journey and seek your support in overcoming a recent setback that left me homeless. As a passionate artist, I have dedicated my life to creating art that inspires and uplifts, and now I need your help to continue this mission.

On July 31, 2024, at around 12:38 PM in Sedona, Arizona, I found myself standing at the door of what used to be my apartment, facing the scorching 95-degree heat, with temperatures projected to hit 100 degrees. I later discovered that according to Arizona law, you can't verbally ask someone to leave a property in seven days, whether they are the primary tenant or a subtenant. Yet, this was the emergency situation I faced that day at the Foothills property.

This unexpected turn of events left me homeless and vulnerable, with nowhere to turn. Despite reaching out to nearly a dozen friends for help, none were able or willing to assist me in this crisis. But this challenge has only fueled my determination to rebuild and continue creating art that touches hearts and transforms lives.

I am reaching out to you, my community, to help me overcome this hurdle and get back on my feet. Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in covering living expenses, securing a new place to call home, and ensuring my belongings are safe in storage. I also need assistance with transportation and acquiring a basic vehicle to move between places.

As a vegan, I’m also seeking support for my dietary needs to maintain my health and well-being. Alongside your contributions, I am putting my artwork online to generate passive income and offering coaching sessions to those interested in learning unique processes in painting, drawing, and music production that you won’t find anywhere else.

Your support is not just a helping hand but an investment in the power of Art to HEAL and INSPIRE our World.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not only helping me rebuild my life, but in a very powerful way you’re also contributing to a larger mission of helping the entire social community of our world by spreading Creativity and Inspiration through Art.

Every contribution brings us closer to a world where Art can Change lives and Create Connections to bring our digitally isolated world back together.

Thank you for being a vital part of this journey and for believing in the Transformative Power of Healing through Art.

Deremiah *CPE, I believe we’ve been casual Facebook friends for about 16 years, and I was always moved by your personal messages of positivity, such as calling me a “great woman” sometimes. I’ve never had that in my life, and we’ve not had the opportunity to meet in person. I haven’t followed every single aspect of your life, but when I HAVE checked in, I’ve been amazed at all that you’ve done and are doing, and all that you’ve said and are saying. If anyone deserves to have a stable, healthy, and prosperous life, it is you, dear man. I know you will rise above whatever the current situation is and SHINE as you always have! I love you! ❤️

Deremiah *CPE, is one of the most genuine, gifted, generous & truly “god fueled” people I know on this planet. We initially met via Alex Karis hurricane of gratitude challenge sometime around 2010 on Facebook. He’s, since then, brightened my life beyond measure with his unflagging uplifting words and intentions. And while we have yet to meet in person I have to say that he’s one of the kindest most inspiring people I know and I am so incredibly grateful for the tremendous way he has shown up for me and with me as we both walk our soul path intention of illuminating humanity.
— Anjel B. Hartwell, NH USA


While I never have yet met Deremiah in person, we first spoke when he reached out to me when my sister was in the hospital with 100% liver failure and her other organs were starting to go.

I remember feeling disoriented and as if I was being swept away into a dark sea. With the heavy nightmare I was imagining I could hardly move or think straight.

I believed my sister was going to die very soon and that my next trip to the hospital would be my last time seeing her alive.

When I saw Deremiah’s Facebook message offering for me to call him, I was willing to try anything at that point, even if meant calling a long time Facebook friend / stranger.

I’m forever grateful and so glad I did.

He prayed over my sister out loud with me, envisioning my sister perfectly healthy and healed.

The words that flowed so effortlessly and fluidly out of his soul were like daggers piercing all shadows until only light could remain.

At the time I couldn’t believe that my sis would ever recover from the downward spiral that was taking place, but on my call with Deremiah, faith and conviction replaced ALL worry, doubt and fear.

We must have talked for hours that Halloween night and it must have been past 2 or 3am by the time our call completed with him living in a time zone 2 hours ahead of mine.

How could someone I never (actually) met before deliver personally to me such an altruistic act of service and compassion?
(And with no sales pitch at the end?)

All I remember is during and after the call, feeling so much peace and like everything was absolutely and completely ok and good.
Beyond good.

It was a TOTAL TRANSFORMATION.

It was as if the prayers he did for my sister somehow acted as an angelic spell on me, turning my energy and outlook into a deep sense of presence and love, and my hope, confidence and positivity was completely restored.

The next day , I received news that my sister’s condition was on the mend. Her liver and kidneys were coming back, and she over the upcoming days resumed healing back to 100 %.

I am not implying causation, but the coincidence of taking Deremiah’s call at the time I needed really big spiritual help , was a miraculous healing in my life (and for my sister) that I will always remember and be grateful for.

Since then, Deremiah and I have remained connected, including other great and powerful conversations and him sending me insightful books or inspirational gifts along the way and vice versa.

I am grateful for this extraordinary man, his selfless acts, tremendous courage, relentless spirit of optimism and his heart of pure gold.

Rarely on the planet do we meet people who have tremendous odds and burdens against them who show up with so much zest, benevolence, tireless exuberant love and serving others -oriented energy to make a difference in the lives of others.

And it is so fortunate when we do!

I hope you get a chance for your life to one day be personally blessed and enriched by Deremiah.

It’s kind of like knowing a bail bonds man. “ it’s better to know him and not need him, then to need him and not know him!”

Thankful for the community, resource and opportunity that open their arms and fully embrace him and help LIFT him during these uncertain times and as he walks (chin up and tall) through this next chapter.

There are plenty of beautiful souls in this world, and chances are if you are reading this right now, YOU are one of them.

Thank you for your love and support of Deremiah.

May there be synergy in all our collective intentions and efforts to see him land safely and onto his next unstoppable mission that multiplies happiness, success and prosperity for those all around.

I believe in you Deremiah!!

I had just one coaching session with Deremiah *CPE around the issue of allowing myself to shine. Deremiah voluntarily gifted me this free coaching session. Which was so gracious of him. In one session I was able to realise my innate worth through telling my truth and recognising my patterns of self sabotage....

Deremiah's ability to listen in love and guide through love was the catalyst for my breakthrough...

That one session changed my life and I'm shining my light unapologetically ever since.
— Rosemary Roberts, UK


Deremiah *CPE Bro, you are an earth angel and a total bad ass.
Although we have never met in person, we have spent countless hours on the phone talking about EVERYTHING that matters and sharing lots and lots of laughs and poking fun at the system.

We've known each other now since 2009, since the beginning of the ol' Facebook days, and you have done nothing but share your heart, your kindness, your wisdom, your encouragement, your LOVE, and your TRUTH to inspire and empower not only me but countless others.

You are a rockstar, and I'm always with you in spirit checking in on you like you do me.

You are a brother.
Holding space for your next highest moves KNOWING that you are always in the hands of God and in the arms of Angels.

Love you brother, we got you!
— Scott Brandon Hoffman, USA

You inspired me many times over the years especially with your musical messages in the beginning then you helping others be the best version of themselves. I love your fun side on karaoke nights too
— Lucy Goguen, Saint Louis, NB Canada


Deremiah *CPE, like so many here, we do not know each other personally. Nonetheless, you have had great impact on me, simply through your messages here on Facebook. Especially in times of challenge! You don't know it but there have been times when a word or reflection just hit perfectly, through some BIG shizz going on in the background. You have inspired me with your modeling, your mindset, your stories, your music, how you show up, who you BE. For that, I will be ever grateful.

It almost seems silly to say: You will RISE...

because it's like, duh, of COURSE. It is already done.

So with that in mind, with your permission... whatever you have going on right now, I am adding my energy to yours to clear any and all resistance and choosing the outcome of your highest good, always. All my love, Elizabeth xoxo
— Elizabeth Purvis, Portland, Oregon USA
