Dear family and friends,

We are pulling together to help our brother Riley Gude. Most of you know he has struggled for many years with addiction and homelessness. He has been in and out of treatment centers and sober living homes for years. It's been a battle, as we all know, struggling to find healthy and productive consistency in his life.

Recently, Riley had been missing for over a month. Two weeks ago, he was found at an encampment in Santa Monica. Anthony drove with him and is keeping him on the farm to detox, and he is doing better day-by-day, helping out and making his doctor's appointments.

However, in terms of his living situation, it is time to try something else.

Once the time is right, he will be going down to Guatemala to live and work with Elena (Lynne). There are also some promising clinics there to help Riley in his recovery. We are gathering some funds to help pay for his travel and basic living expenses. Any little bit helps.
