Join Us in Uplifting Diego in His Recovery

**Help Diego Gomez Recover from Assault**

Today is Deigo's birthday (Oct. 2) and he is spending it in SF General ICU. Let's rally around him to literally get him back on his feet!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am reaching out to you on behalf of my dear friend, Diego Gomez, a talented and passionate multidisciplinary artist who has brought so much to our community. Diego is a Queer, 1st-generation Mexican-American who has self-published multiple books and has had his artwork featured in galleries and conventions from San Francisco to Paris. His murals brighten our city, and he has shared his artistic talents through teaching at institutions like Apple, Google, and California College of the Arts.

Tragically, on Monday morning, Diego was assaulted near his home in the Tenderloin. He is currently in the neurological ICU at San Francisco General Hospital, where he is being treated for multiple facial fractures and will remain for at least another week. As today is his birthday, we want to rally around him in this time of need.

Diego has a long road to recovery ahead of him, and we are unsure when he will be able to return to work. Medical bills and living expenses in San Francisco can be overwhelming, and we want to ensure he has the support he needs to focus on healing.

**Please consider donating to help Diego get back on his feet after this horrific incident.** Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in his recovery journey. Let’s show Diego the love and support he has given to our community.

Thank you for your generosity and support during this difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Lauri Green
