  2. Ray Kizer posted a fundraiser update

    I have temporary housing, and an eating well. No news on relocating to a new spot. Diligently seeking full time employment. Really wishing I had access to a place for music production. Seems like all I am doing these days is riding a bus between appointments. I hope this is reaching more people, and I could get a little bit more of a boost just over halfway to my 1st goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated and shared thus far. It helps immensely. Being homeless, then getting off the streets only to have the home burn down has really tested my resilience and faith. What a miracle that no life was lost though. 6 people, a dog, and 7 cats, all made it out. What's hardest for me is losing my hard drives and all the memories, art and music I created, and all the documents and passwords that were on them. I could really use a hug right now. Which seems to be in even shorter supply than money right now. I truly hope no one ever has to go through this. And if you have, I am glad you are around to read this. Thank you for any help provided. I truly cannot express that properly

    I have procured some basic essentials. Still in need of a back pack and a few other things. Ebt is being replaced. ID should be soon, sscard and birth certificate I s going to be a little more difficult. No place to sleep nightly, but I am not losing hope. Sharing the fundraiser is super important, as you never know who is willing to donate even $5. I want to thank each and every one of you who have donated, as it is the main thing keeping hope alive when I'm completely exhausted and overwhelmed. Wish I could get a hug. Seems like they are worth more than money these days. Love you all from the depths of my heart.

    Recently lost what little I still owned in a house fire. No access to my social media or contacts. This is a struggle

    Hi, I'm Ray, a 52-year-old male and victim of a house fire. I lost what little I had left. Lucky to be alive, and I continue to try to maintain a positive attitude despite the hardships I have experienced over the last year. Just another Portland food wizard and music manipulator trying to float on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you friend
