Ways to support me & my mission
I am, so far, a one-person-operation. I’ve received tremendous support from loved ones and the wider community, but I have no dedicated staff or crew. This project is a labor of love that takes monumental amounts of my time, money, and (sometimes literally) blood, sweat, and tears. Any resources, skills, or expertise you have to offer would be greatly appreciated!
Material support:
Spread the news: As most content creators would say, "Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications on in YouTube!" Join the Discord and Facebook groups and follow me on social media. Share my content on your platforms or send links to those who might be interested. This doesn't cost you a dime and is immensely helpful to me.
Make suggestions: The country is vast, with countless hidden gems. Do you have suggestions for progressive towns, bohemian coffee shops, standout thrift stores, queer bars, worker-owned co-operatives, or vintage theaters, bookstores, and health food stores? I'm eager to explore and would love your recommendations!
Contribute Financially: If you're able, financial support is the quickest way to help my mission. Monthly donations on Patreon, regardless of the amount, are greatly appreciated for planning and budgeting. For one-time contributions, here’s my PayPal link. Your support allows me to focus more on the project and less on side gigs to make ends meet.
Advertise with me: Do you own or know of a queer, POC, or misfit-friendly establishment in need of promotion? Send an email with details and a business link. As long as it aligns with my values, I'm all in. I'm also open to bartering for products or services that aid my travels or production. Check out below for what I'm looking for, or reach out with your offerings!
Donate skills or services: I'm continuously learning the ropes in business, film production, and building my online brand. If you possess skills in tech, marketing, design, video editing, bookkeeping, etc., and have a few hours to donate, I'd love to talk! If you're a car mechanic, assistance with inevitable car issues would be fantastic! Lennie has been well cared for, but is getting on in years, and we’ll take all the help we can get! (I love to learn if you are up for teaching me what to do.)
Donate equipment: My current gear is… basic, at best. If you have any decent spare camera, mic, or lighting equipment, you’d like to donate, it'd be a game-changer.
Host me: Have an extra room or a safe driveway I could use? Or maybe a space with WiFi where I can edit videos? Perhaps even a warm shower or a meal to share? I’m self sufficient on the road, but spend a considerable amount of time and gas hunting for safe and functional places to sleep and work.
Help me network: Know someone who might be of help? Or perhaps I could speak at your social group, synagogue, or church? I'd love to share my journey and seek the community's support.
Grant me access to a swimming pool: A bit unconventional, but swimming is essential for my physical and mental well-being due to some health conditions and limitations. A swim session helps counteract the hours spent sitting during my travels and work. If you have a pool, can connect me with someone who does, or can share a gym guest pass with me, you will dramatically improve my quality of life on the road.
