Where do you find inspiration?I find it in religion,nature,family or my kids. I find it everywhere but can't find the time or the funds to act on everything I think of making. I am constantly giving everything I can to those around me without asking for anything in return I am a hands on learner that is 39 trying to start his artist career this money could change my life and send a positive message that theres life after addiction. That a blue collar worker can become successful if he doesn't give up trying.
What would you do with $25,000?I would get family and I out of the situation my mental health has got us in. I would like to start a nonprofit that hires at risk teens in my local community and gives them a chance that I didn't get while making art along the way. I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and missed many opportunities. I am not perfect ive made some mistakes. Ive learned from them and want to prevent others from making the same mistakes. I think With this money I could change lives while documenting it.
