Hi everyone,

My name is Tomas, and I’m reaching out during a really difficult moment. I recently tore my Achilles tendon while choreographing a dance piece. Movement is literally how I survive in LA. I rely on my legs not just for dance and performance, but to get to my day job, do makeup gigs, and move through the city without a car. Since my injury, I’ve lost both income and momentum. I’m now facing the reality of not being able to pay rent in February.

I’ve had to take a leave from my job at a beauty store, cancel makeup clients, and miss two major auditions. Walking is painful. Dancing is impossible. I’m doing everything I can to let my body heal: icing, resting, and following my specialist’s orders. But I can’t rush this if I want to come back strong.

I’m a passionate artist with big dreams. I’ve spent the last six years in LA building toward something bigger—landing an agent, booking work, and creating a name for myself as both a dancer and a makeup artist. This injury has paused that momentum and hit me in every direction: financially, physically, and emotionally.

I’ve never done this before. It’s hard to ask, especially when I know the world feels heavy for many of us right now. But I’m learning that asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s survival.

This support will help me:

    •    Catch up on rent and bills for February

    •    Afford groceries and essentials

    •    Focus on healing instead of rushing back to work injured

    •    Stay grounded and independent in a city where I have to fight for that daily

I don’t want to be seen as a burden. I just want the time to heal without falling behind on everything I’ve worked for.

If You’ve Ever Seen Me Perform, Dance, or glam a face, know that your support, no matter the amount, is helping me get back to what I love. I’ll be posting updates on Instagram and Facebook as I recover. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, check in, or share this with someone who might want to help.

Thank you for being part of my community. Thank you for believing in me.
