Reaching out for help
Donation protected
It has been a rough year, and I need some help. I am living at an airbnb and am one step away from being on the street. I am working hard to get back on my feet. $1600 would help me pay for my housing, some basic necessities and enough food to eat 1-2 times a day.

In the span of a year, I totaled my car, I starved to the point where I lost 20% of my body mass in a few short months, and I lost my apartment.
During that year of my life, I didn't quit. I grinded and put myself out there more than ever before. I quintupled down. I was cycling 5-10 miles to and from seshes wearing 20-25lbs in gear strapped to my body, then I would swing my camera around for 4-6 hours and would cycle home. I did this going through extreme caloric deficits. But I got so many blessings from it.
My biggest blessing was meeting all of the incredible people in the local SoCal Cannabis Community. I can't remember the last time I had a community of friends like this. It is something I had been yearning for, and I built without even realizing it.
Outside of my living situation, things have been looking up. I have a few opportunities on the horizon (potentially even a part-time gig), and this would buy me enough time to make them a reality.
I believe in our community and the people that make it up. I believe that we will push past the current challenges we face. This is where I wish to be, this is the community I want to help thrive.
