Hello all,

This is Liam Watkins reaching out on behalf of our buddy Jesse Valencia. Jesse is a beam of light in the scene. A genuine artist who puts his entire being in everything he creates as a musician, author, activist, teacher and performer.

Unfortunately he is held up in hospital after having an operation on his leg which means Jesse wont be mobile or able to work for some time. He needs the help of this community that he truly loves and supports.

Being the renaissance man that he is, Jesse relies heavily on his jobs as a gig worker. These jobs require him to stand for long periods of time and also for him to be able to drive.

In Jesses own words:

"I am trying every day to get back to a place where I am economically stable, but then my car breaks down, I am in the hospital, fired from my job and my unemployment has run out."

I am asking on behalf of Jesse to please help him out any way you can even if its a job offer such as box office where he can work while seated.

Thank you all, shine on
