I have known Eli for many years since working together in the theater in Philadelphia 25 years ago, and he was always been a wildly talented, driven, hardworking and passionate actor/writer/comedian/musician/creative soul. He's done projects in NYC, LA and London. And like many of us , he's had struggles living and working as an artist.

Friends, he has hit a really rough patch, and as a community that supports and uplifts our members, he needs our help getting through this next couple months. Acting work has been sparse, and even though he’s working two jobs, it’s still not enough to cover his basic needs. He’s at risk of not having money for rent in January, and is struggling to afford consistent food and transportation to his jobs.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping Eli cover rent, groceries, and transportation costs. This support will help him get through the next couple of months, until income becomes a bit steadier at the start of the year.

I know how strong and caring our community is—many artists go through tough times, but we always rally to support one another.

Now is the time to come together for Eli. Any help you can give will make a real difference in his life, allowing him to regroup and move forward. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
