The story behind "One From Everyone" and why this matters to me
When I was a kid, I had this wild idea: what if every person on Earth gave me an insignificant gift? A penny, a dollar, ten dollars. Any amount that was completely insignificant to them.
To each individual, it would be nothing—pocket change they'd never even notice. But to me, it could be everything.
That childhood curiosity never left me. As I grew up, I realized this wasn't just about the money—it was about the profound power of collective action. How millions of small gestures can create something extraordinary.
I'm not asking for charity. I'm not asking for sympathy. I'm asking you to be part of a social experiment—to prove that when everyone contributes something tiny, we can achieve something massive together.
Life has taught us about resilience. I live with adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), and my wife has battled cancer. These experiences have deepened our commitment to supporting mental health initiatives and medical research.
Through our own health challenges, we've seen firsthand how even small contributions can make a real difference in people's lives. This campaign isn't just about realizing a dream—it's about proving that collective action can create extraordinary outcomes, while also supporting causes that matter deeply to us.
When we support mental health initiatives, medical research, and cancer support organizations, we're not just giving back—we're investing in the kind of world we want to live in, where small gestures from many people can create meaningful change.
We're a family of four—my wife and I, and our two daughters. This campaign isn't just about realizing my childhood dream; it's about creating opportunities and stability for our family's future.
Our health challenges have taught us the importance of resilience, community support, and investing in what matters most. When we support mental health initiatives and medical research, we're not just giving back—we're investing in a world where families like ours can thrive, regardless of health challenges.
This dream represents more than financial freedom—it's about having the time and resources to focus on our daughters' education, our family's well-being, and our community. Every gift, no matter how small, helps us build a foundation where our family can flourish and continue supporting causes that matter to us all.
Absolutely. This is a legitimate personal gift campaign using secure payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Coinbase). All transactions are processed through established, trusted platforms with full buyer protection. These are personal gifts, not charitable donations.
I'll continue accepting donations and update my goals. The dream doesn't stop at $10k—it's about proving the power of collective action. I'll share regular updates on how the funds are being used.
While gifts are typically final, if you have a legitimate concern, please contact me directly. I believe in treating everyone with respect and understanding.
No, this is not a charity. This is a personal crowdfunding campaign to realize a childhood dream. It's a crowd-sourced experiment in collective action—proving that small individual contributions can create extraordinary outcomes. Think of it like supporting a friend's dream, just on a larger scale.
Transparency is my commitment. I'll provide regular updates on fund usage, maintain this public record, and be completely open about how your contribution is making a difference in my life and the causes I support.
Built with transparency, security, and trust in mind
