Geahk Fell Down and Fractured His Crown
Donation protected
Our beloved resident storyteller, teacher, Geahk-of-all-trades had a work related accident and is incurring some serious medical bills. This is a platform for friends to contribute funds in hopes to alleviate stress and nurture healing.
A personal disclosure from Marina:
A few months ago, I started working with Geahk Burchill on contracting work for Past Lives commissions. I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone with such a unique combination of skill, knowledge, patience, kindness, meticulousness, and intelligence. He could be making way more money somewhere else, but he instead chooses to grind with us and has been teaching me carpentry, drywall, finish work, and is responsible for a large part of the success of our projects since he began. A beautiful soul w transcendent philosophies. I owe a lot to this man. On the job site, there was a horrible accident. While engineering and fabricating a movable platform for the rest of the team to safely install cedar cladding at a gym we work with, Geahk slipped inside a boulder, fell from almost 14’ down to the concrete, fractured his legs, and damaged a rotator cuff. Geahk is the safest and most conscientious person I’ve ever worked with. This tragic injury happening to him was a freak accident, and of course it was while he was working diligently to insure the safety of our crew.
If you are able to and find it in your heart, please donate any amount via the link above. Every single person I’ve spoken with today that knows him has asked how they can help, and here is a very literal and direct way. I fear Geahk has a treacherous road ahead in his recovery and medical expenses. “The consequences outlast the paycheck,” one of his regular lines of cautionary wisdom. Please help to abate these unwarranted consequences.
