Hi, my name is Mike ‍♂️ and I’m fighting every single day to stay clean, stay strong, and rebuild my life ❤️‍. I’m currently in treatment , doing the work, showing up, and trying to become the man and the father I’ve always wanted to be. My biggest dream right now is to finish this program and make it back home to California ✨, where I can reopen my tattoo shop and finally start building a life I’m proud of again. Tattooing is my passion ️. It’s not just a career… it’s what keeps me grounded, focused, and away from the very things that used to pull me back into relapse. When I tattoo, I feel purpose. I feel peace. I feel like I’m giving something good back to the world . A lot of people don’t know this, but I actually have my Bachelor’s Degree in Addiction Studies . I worked hard for it because I wanted to help others. But when I lost my mom … everything inside me collapsed. I relapsed. I lost my way. But I’m here now clean, healing, learning, and fighting to try again. I won’t give up. My goals are simple but mean everything to me: ✨ Get a ticket back to California ✨ Reopen my tattoo shop so I can work again ✨ Stay clean and grounded ✨ And most of all… work on getting my daughter back in my life ‍❤️ Being a dad again a present, healthy, stable dad is what keeps me pushing forward every day. I’m raising funds to help me with two major things: ️ A ticket back home to California ️ Tattoo equipment so I can restart my shop and rebuild my future Any help big or small means more than I can ever express. You’re not just supporting a fundraiser… you’re supporting a second chance, a father’s love, a dream, and a man who is truly doing everything he can to rise again . Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for helping me get home. Thank you for giving me hope again ❤️✨.
