I could really use a “moai” right now. In Okinawan culture, moais are committed social circles that pool their money to help one another through hard times. That spirit of community is what I’m holding onto as I ask for support. I need hernia surgery, and I simply can’t afford it on my own right now. I have health insurance but my deductible is $6500, and Denver-area hernia surgery starts at about that amount. On top of that, I make my living through gig work, and I’ll need to turn down jobs for three to four weeks while I recover, which means losing an estimated $4000 to $5000 in income.

I’m usually a pretty fearless person. I dance professionally atop stilts and I serenade strangers in a diaper. But lately, the financial side of this has been weighing on me. I’m asking for help covering the cost of surgery and easing the burden of lost wages while I heal. If you’re able to give, share or send encouragement, it would truly mean the world to me. Thank you for being part of my moai and for helping me get through this difficult moment. Your support will help quiet my financial fears and remind me that we really can overcome hard things together.

In Brazil, Halloween, or Dia das Bruxas, is usually celebrated by costume parties, dancing and drinking. We’ll be doing exactly that at Fabi and Cat’s annual Halloween event.

Studies show that experiences create more lasting happiness than mere material gifts. Flowers die, chocolates disappear, but singing valentines create memories that last a lifetime.

”Singing telegrams qualify as emotionally charged events, which imprint in our long-term memories in a deeper way due to the heightened emotions involved,” explains Denver singing telegram vet Orange Peel Moses. “Whether the recipient is extremely surprised or genuinely touched, the experience of receiving a singing telegram stays with them fo the rest of their life.”
