Black Stories Matter: Support Isaiah's Here!
Donation protected
Fundraiser by Ana Ruth Aguilar - Please help my son Isaiah.
WHAT/WHY:
Black Lives Matter. Black Dreams Matter. Black Stories Matter.
And my son is doing his best EVERY day to go out every day and not only be a PART of these global protests, but also DOCUMENT them for our allies who are needed elsewhere.
Isaiah has already been blessed by receiving monetary help from friends, followers and supporters who have offered to help with his gas and food while he’s on protests. This GoFundMe provides a place for his friends and family to share his story and make sure he has the resources he needs: Food, water, gas/public transportation, shelter, face masks.
My son Isaiah has given a speech at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland on what he’s seen in the last few weeks. (see @notagambler on IG)*
My son Isaiah has been tear gassed and flash banged in San Jose for standing on the frontline with his people and allies. (see @notagambler on IG)*
My son Isaiah has been arrested in San Francisco’s Mission District for “violating curfew” while peacefully protesting. (see @notagambler on IG or @isaiahdidit on Twitter)*
My son Isaiah has marched miles across the entire state in hopes that change is possible.
My son has no intention of stopping this mission- whether this fundraiser raises our goal of $2,000 or $2.
This is a fundraiser to ask you to help with whatever you can. We understand we are facing multiple pandemics and not everyone has funds to give. If donating is not possible, a share goes a LONG way :)
I can’t always stop my son from standing up for what he believes in, but I can do my best to make sure he has the resources he needs when he is out there.
This fundraiser is for Isaiah and I thank you for putting your time and mind to reading my plea to you today :)
WHO:
Hi, my name is Ana and I am making this GoFundMe on behalf of my son Isaiah.
My son Isaiah is a first-generation, biracial, kind hearted 24 year old activist (even though you won't hear him use this word to describe himself), born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. As much as his ambitious missions sometimes may worry me, I know that once he sets his mind to something there is no stopping him.
For example:
In late 2017, Isaiah and his friend Derrick worked together to build TuitionTogether, the world’s first crowdfunding website specifically for college scholarships. They invested THEIR OWN funds into road tripping around colleges in California to sign students up for the scholarships (5 min sign up), collect donations, and create content for TuitionTogether’s social media following. In January 2018 TuitionTogether awarded their first $1,000 scholarship to one lucky California student (see @tuitiontogether * on IG :)
In January 2020, Isaiah traveled to Puerto Rico to volunteer his time after the island’s infrastructure was devastated by major earthquakes (see @isaiahtravels on TikTok).*
Most recently, Isaiah’s heart has taken him to the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Berkeley, Palmdale, and Victorville, California to stand up and have his voice heard against the human rights violations against our Black and Brown brothers and sisters here in the US and across the globe. Black Lives Matter. (see @notagambler on IG or @isaiahdidit on Twitter).*
*I encourage you to visit isaiah’s social media channels where he has been posting live updates daily.
