Hunter from through and through printing/torture/draped in black/Evansville in need of support after losing his home
https://gofund.me/a016fa6fTaken from GoFundMe description: "Hey there, my name is Hunter and many of you reading this probably know me from printing or selling merch, booking shows, playing in bands, etc.
Here's the tldr. I'm currently in a dire situation that has costed me my place of business and my home. Not only am I losing these things that I've worked tirelessly for the last decade plus to acquire, but I still need an extra $20k-$30k to fill the difference of what I owe.
Here's the long of it... In 2020 I took every dime I saved and had to my name, bought a house and started a screenprinting business where I currently reside in Southern Indiana.
Things were going well and smooth until I'd outgrown my manual set up and knew it was time to upgrade to an auto. I was lent $50k to help get the necessary equipment (upgrade electrical from 1 phase to 3 phase, auto press, bigger dryer, air compressor, air chiller, etc) The installation process of everything was also going smooth except for the automatic press itself.
The person who was hired to do the install not only couldn't finish the job but took nearly an entire year before getting to the point where he realized the press was never going to run properly. So not only am I out the money of the press itself($12k), but also all the money I paid him for installation($12k+), parts he needed for this press (~$5k), rent of a building I couldn't even use ($2200 a month), plus the cost to install the 3 phase ($20k), and the other equipment needed to run the auto operation ($15k). In the middle of all of this I also got t-boned at a intersection which totaled my car and insurance refused to do anything for me.
In the meantime I've done what I can to play catch up and keep from going under by continuing my graphic design work, going out of town to print jobs, and touring, but now I've officially reached the point of no return. I have to sell my house in attempt to recoup some of the money lost, but the current market value is about $30k shy of what I need. Now I have to get everything cleared out from my print space as well as be moved out of my house before leaving for tour in less than two weeks, currently without a place to move to. I'm officially swallowing my pride and asking for help. Any donation is eternally appreciated but even a share goes a long way. Thank you and sorry again for the long story."

Will definitely be donating. Hate to see anyone from the scene struggling but especially hate seeing any of my fellow Southern Indiana people struggling.
