Lost soul courier collective, inc.

Hello friends and family! This year for my 18th birthday, in lieu of presents I am requesting donations for the San Francisco based 501c3 non-profit Lost Soul Courier Collective. They benefit the most poverty stricken areas of San Francisco by providing free Naloxone, otherwise known as Narcan, to those at risk of overdosing, as well as hosting community programming such as toy drives, group bike rides, and food drives. It would mean a lot to me if you could donate to support this amazing organization! They are saving lives and preventing young people from being stuck in the cycle of drug abuse and poverty. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great rest of your day/evening!

Lost Soul Courier Collective, a local organization dedicated to bike messenger services and harm reduction initiatives, urgently needs your support in securing a permanent long-term lease at 276 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco.

As a dedicated bike messenger and harm reduction organization, Lost Soul Courier Collective has been instrumental in serving our community with reliable and eco-friendly messenger and bike repair services, as well as actively contributing to harm reduction initiatives in the Tenderloin, Fillmore, Mission, Bayview, Sunnydale, Excelsior, and South of Market neighborhoods.

However, the uncertainty of our current location poses a threat to the continuity of these essential services. Securing a permanent home at 276 Golden Gate Avenue will allow us to establish a stable base for our operations, ensuring the longevity of our bike messenger services and harm reduction programs. This not only strengthens our commitment to the community but also provides a lasting impact on the well-being of those we serve.

We are reaching out to compassionate individuals and organizations like yours to request support in the form of donations. Your contribution will play a vital role in helping Lost Soul Courier Collective secure the long-term lease needed to continue our mission in bike messenger services and harm reduction.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to cover essential expenses associated with this endeavor, including:

* Building Inspection: Ensuring the safety and suitability of our new space is a top priority. Your contribution will help fund a thorough building inspection to create a secure environment for our team and the community.

* Repairs and Building Costs: Transforming the space into a functional hub for our bike messenger and harm reduction operations requires necessary repairs and building modifications. Your support will directly contribute to creating a space that serves our community effectively.

* Rent and Deposit: Acquiring the lease necessitates covering initial rent and deposit costs. Your generous donation will play a crucial role in securing our permanent home, providing stability for Lost Soul Courier Collective.

* Miscellaneous Expenses: Unforeseen costs often arise during such transitions.

Plans for the Future:

We envision a revitalized 276 Golden Gate Ave as a dynamic community hub, complete with vibrant murals, small businesses, and art studios. With your support, we aim to turn this space into a flourishing center that not only provides essential services but also celebrates local talent and entrepreneurship. Your contribution will not only secure our physical space but will also lay the foundation for a brighter future, where the walls tell stories, small businesses thrive, and artists find inspiration.

Rent will be quadrupled by 2024, and without your support, we fear losing our home at 276 Golden Gate.

Your support will create a financial buffer for miscellaneous expenses, ensuring a seamless relocation without compromising our services. Lost Soul Courier Collective has been an integral part of our community, providing reliable services and actively participating in harm reduction efforts. Your contribution will not only help us secure a physical space but will also fortify our commitment to serving the community. Every donation, regardless of size, brings us closer to materializing our mission and creating a lasting impact on our community.

Thank you for considering our urgent appeal. Your support is instrumental in ensuring the sustainability of Lost Soul Courier Collective and our continued positive impact on the San Francisco.

Best Regards,

Antonio Chavez, Matt Howell, Melina Machuca, and all of our volunteers and community members.
