What does Jasper need?
Jasper needs to raise $4,000 to help with:
- medical recovery costs
- transportation costs
- food
- housing and bills
- general well-being
- general estimated cost of processing fees associated with fundraising efforts
He is in search of post surgery medical support, transportation and paying off car payments, he needs to be able to continue to pay bills, feed himself and maintain a roof over his head while he recovers from a multi-step surgery process in the midst of significant changes to his living situation and work capacity.
Why Does Jasper Need Support?
They are currently going through a multi-step surgery. This requires many doctor visits, transport to and from medical facilities, and multiple periods of recovery during which he will likely not be able to continue his work through it all. His work is currently quite physically demanding for his body, which is now in need of additional surgery, in part, due to complications with his previous procedure and recovery process, so we are hoping to be able to manage enough support this time so he can fully recover without complications before he returns to any labor intensive work.
All of this is occurring during a time of major transition— he is navigating many insecure housing situations and transitions.
While desperately in search of a job in June, due to changing life circumstances, Jasper tried to buy a used electrical car to do door dash and Uber around the bay area. But it was a lemon car! There have been many ups and downs as he has tried to navigate this situation, suffice to say on top of everything else as he has tried to exchange it or get bought out, and none of those are accessible routes for him leaving him on the hook for payments on a car that is not usable for him.
While he is currently housed, he is needing to find more suitable housing for the long term, he is generally living pay-check to pay-check and currently doesn’t have a large buffer to support him during his recovery period...
What Makes Jasper so Special to Us?
Jasper would give you the shirt off his own back. He is generous to loved ones and strangers. When he was housed he offered friends a place to stay many times over the years. In particular, he really came through for a friend over the past year when they didn’t have anywhere to stay for several months. He spends much of his time thinking about and helping people find resources for basic needs. He is a loving and responsible Guinea pig dad who really cares for his friends and community.
Please help us in coming together as a community to support our friend Jasper through these difficult times.
