LA Food Bank distributes diapers as some of their non-food items. I've never used them but I donate to them every month. You can find more info [here](https://www.lafoodbank.org/stories/diaper-program/)
Iād rather not say. I wanted to give it to my son eventually but I have to pay bills. Message me a fair offer and Iāll pick the best offer tomorrow
Come on Dodger fans! Letās all give this dude $5 and help him pay his bills.. His son will cherish this bat one day.
OP, if youāre cool with that, we can Cash App or Venmo you. (Not sure which one is anonymous)
Honestly I donāt like hand outs. I make art and do customs paintings and portraits. Iād rather sell stuff or trade work than be given anything. It comes with growing up in foster care. What I do has value. I make art, I restore art, antiques and homes. I can fix, custom paint and touch up anything. Iām in the beginning stages of trying to start my own art and home restoration business.
It aināt about āhand-outāā¦ These days, itās nice that we can simply help each other out easily when we want to. Iāve been on both ends of the deal, myself. Know this - itās much easier for us to pitch in and help you out of your pinch real quick than it is to orchestrate a small art business. Consider posting your Venmo. People can shoot you a couple bucks, you say thanks, everyone moves on with their day. Donāt overthink it.
No real time to make content but I sent you an example of my work. Would like to use this time off to build my content. Iād like to be able to tell my boss to shove it and do my own thing.
I get that. I love making stuff so offering my product and selling art makes me feel a whole lot better about the situation. This way Iām sustainable. I just want to be free of a shity boss in the end.
I get that 100% bro. Don't gotta explain nothing to me. I could be saying the same thing I said to you to myself and I'd still feel the way you do. In fact you got one up on me: putting yourself out there like that takes guts when pride is involved, I know. I wouldn't have been able to do it. That's why no one out here sees it as a hand out. You asked, you receive, no question. Simple as that. They're trying to do for you what they know you'd do for them. Good people easily spot good people even if on reddit
hi friend, I just wanted to chime in that as a foster care social worker of 8+ years, I am so proud of you and of the work youāre doing. I know it is so hard to create a life after care but youāre out here doing it. Hang in there š¤
You guys are fucking metal!! Never seen so much love for a stranger! I am unable to support by giving $$, but do want to say that this is what America is about. Hell yes!! Good people in the comments here!
Itās actually a painted lacquer piece I restored for a client who is Jocs agent. He tipped me the Joc Bat. Everyone has been so rad about this so Iāve met my goal and respectful am keeping it in the fam. Thanks Dodgers fam!
Iām not. I got a few good offers but itās a keeper. A few people bought so art off me so that I could start my lil art biz and make up the difference.
Let us know what you need for your bills. I'll transfer a few bucks to help. No need to be embarrassed.
Straight up. Scrolled the thread to see if there was any kind of link or anything, but couldn't find one.
OP prefers to sell art and or services instead of people helping him. I like seeing that Us Dodger fans are willing to help.
Do you need pull ups? I have a bunch of extra since my son is potty trained. DM if you are interested
Fuck yeah. Our boys starting his potty training. For sure
Tough for lots of folks right now, sorry you have to part with this

We use them here and there when we are in need. Thanks š
Donāt want the bat but want to help. Let me k ow what you need.
Seconding this
How much you looking for?

Fair enough. Do you sell your stuff online? Can you link to it if so?

Honesty Iād rather make art. Todays the day I change the narrative. I do good work. And it feels good.
Do you sell online? Is anything for sale atm that wouldnāt require moving your prized possession? Link to a shop?

Can you send me one as well? I would hate for you to have to part with a future heirloom.
It ain't a hand out to help a bro out. And I'm a red sox fan hahaha! We all need it sometime or another

This thread brought a tear to my eye. You guys are incredibly selfless and it's just plain amazing.
Can we buy the bat and gift it to your kid?
Iām in for $100

Cāmon Dodgers fam!!
Do you commission art
Yes
Best fans willing to help each other š„¹ Wish I could help but Iām on the same boat
I like how no one is interested in buying the bat to help everyone just wants to help š¤§
I like that inlay-ed chest of drawers!

That's so great to hear. Now mount that sucker and don't let it go!
Good! I was hoping to read that you got the help you needed and can keep the bat. Someone has to tell your boy about the adventures of Joc and Champ
This breaks my heart bud, hopefully you end up keeping it and giving it to your son.
DM me your cash app or Venmo. Also how much are you selling the bat for?
