Help Hug Deli artist Mikey Stubbs recover after the LA fires

*Update from Mikey*

Hello all,

Ideally, I would like to give a warm & fuzzy hug to each of you in person for your support. Most, if not all, of you have either built, worked the counter or have been a customer at the Hug Deli. Please give yourselves credit as you are the ones that create the magic moments at the Hug Deli. Once I am situated, work will commence to rebuild it. Then we will meet again!

Much Love,

-Mikey

Artist Mikey Stubbs, creator of the Hug Deli, Art Gallery, and tiny art car fabricator needs your help. He and his family have lost almost everything in the Eaton Fire.

The Stubbs family has been part of the Altadena community for over 60 years while Mikey has been a core contributor to the Burning Man/Festival/Art community for decades. Their home and virtually all their possessions were lost in the devastating LA fires. The home he was raised in, the van used to bring the art to the community, his original artworks, the Hug Deli itself, and much much more, have all been destroyed.

This fundraiser is to support Mikey and his mother to get back on their feet and recover. The funds will help Mikey and his family continue making art to give to the community that has embraced him for so long while also providing support to care for the family. Funds will be used for living costs, replacing the lost van, clothing, and much more, including rebuilding the Hug Deli.

This is a start to help them get back on their feet.

Please help share some love that Mikey has shared with us for so long! Consider donating what you can, now or later, and sharing this GoFundMe with everyone you know to show Mikey how much he’s loved and cared for.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed.
