<div>On January 7th, 2025, my family evacuated Altadena due to the Eaton Canyon Fire, leaving behind many possessions in the hope of returning to a familiar home. The Altadena family home, where I grew up since I was 15, was tragically destroyed in the blaze. I am seeking support to raise funds to provide my mother Rosa Arias with shelter, food, and essential supplies during this difficult time. I love you Rosa Arias ( mom) we will rebuild even stronger.

Rebuilding after Eaton Canyon Fire

<div>Hello everyone. My name is Simone. It is very hard and embarrassing that I am doing this. I’m disappointed, ashamed…everything you can think of. Back in February, I experienced a planned suicide and I was placed into the psychiatric hospital on a hold . I took disability leave from work and went to doctors to get the help I needed. I was placed on medication again and was diagnosed with Major Depressions, PTSD and ADHD.  Throughout my time I was beginning to get back on track and before I was due to return back to work I was let go. I fell even more behind on rent and my car note and take make matters even worse , I lost my insurance and I could no longer take medication. I’ll be honest, I need help. Financially and medically. I recently decided that life was not worth living anymore. For months I’ve fought to be here. I was served a notice and I have 3 days to pay rent . I’ve looked for jobs for months without any luck. I’ve sold things around my house. I’ve been denied loan after loan. I am swallowing my pride and asking for help. I am asking for help to keep my home. This is all I have. 3 days ago, I had a plan and right as I walked out of my house to make that move, the police were walking up to my door. I’m really trying. I’m so stressed out, I’m depressed. I’ve lost hope. A friend told me to do this, so here I am. I need help.

<div>Bangou Productions needs your help to keep serving the community! For the past 5 years we have been dedicated to comedy &amp; community, raising over $5000 for local Bay Area charities, hosting hundreds of shows, and bringing joy around the world. Additionally, we have hosted some of the most inclusive and diverse shows across the Bay Area. The last two years since COVID ended have been challenging, with rising costs (equipment, venue, artists, etc.) forcing me to have to pay out of pocket more often than not.

</div>
<div>Hi Hooman!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Cynthia In Public. For the past 5 years I have run Bangou Productions, a tiny business that seeks to create community through comedy. It was named after my grandmother's village in Cameroon and symbolizes just that- the spirit of a village or community of people coming together to spread joy, and help one another. My logo is my cat Samson-- my first audience member during our Zoom shows who passed away in 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bangou Productions started as a simple idea: bring joy to friends, family, and close internet strangers during the 2020 apocalypse and lockdown. Armed with a webcam, and my cat Samson we started one of the first Zoom comedy shows in the world, supporting hundreds of local and international artists around the world suddenly left jobless in a chaotic world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each show, our mission statement grew a little bit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Can we raise money for local food banks? <strong>Yes!</strong>
</div>
<div>-Can we ensure that each show is diverse and inclusive (live captions, women, men, Queer, disabled folks, etc.)? <strong>Yes!</strong>
</div>
<div>-Can we raise money for local nonprofits addressing issues of racial inequity such as Anti-Asian hate and Black Lives Matters? <strong>Yes!</strong>
</div>
<div>-Can we use comedy to both discuss and bring levity to racism? <strong>Yes!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/93655491_1755210013705328_r.png" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Each yes led us to the ultimate mission for our organization: destroy comedy, and create a new normal in which all people are included and welcomed.</strong> As such, our shows have always included people of all backgrounds, ages, gender, orientations, and abilities which reflects our general audience in the Bay Area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our accomplishments of the past five years include:
</div>
<ul>
<li>&gt;100 shows, workshops &amp; mics
</li>
<li>&gt;500 Comedians, Performers, speakers &amp; Artists
</li>
<li>&gt;1000 audience members
</li>
<li>Silicon Valley Pride Festival (2021 &amp; 2023)
</li>
<li>16.4M+ Views across Social Media (IG, TikTok)
</li>
<li>&gt;7000 Views (Zoom comedy &amp; other virtual shows)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/93655491_1755209180341227_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With the changing times, and turbulent economic and political landscape -- people need comedy and community now more than ever. Our last event proved that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We had our first <strong> </strong><em>How to Survive Fascism: A Ppt. Comedy Show </em><strong>to resounding success,</strong> with over 50 attendees in person and online. Thanks to the Awesome grant, it was made free to all. However, we need long-term monthly Patrons as well as capital (this GoFundMe) to improve future shows. Money will be used to purchase Sony A7 IV and FX3 cameras, and RCF EVOX J7 speakers, their warranties, reimburse purchase of a Focusrite 18i20 audio interface, and encoders ($13,000). Our longterm plan for sustainability include growing our online presence (Twitch, Tiktok, and more original content) and fiscal sponsorship for additional grant considerations. Hence this donation is a one-time gift needed to help us stay afloat and grow our technological capabilities, and enable future financial independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the end of the day, Bangou Productions has always been about the community. We sincerely believe that if the community <strong>wants these projects, then they will help us fund it to fruition. </strong>However, if our goals are not met by end of 2025, we will call it quits. Five years is more than most orgs have lasted, and we cannot be prouder of our accomplishments &amp; bangou hoomans.
