Embrace it. Sometimes, we make the wrong choices to end up in the right place.

I have not disappeared. I am just working on the animations. It's just really tough doing it on your own! If anyone can help me hire some animators, it would be appreciated!

Hello! My name is Shawn Rizzo. I am a veteran that served in the USMC from 2009 to 2013 and have been working in the Satellite Communications industry since 2018. I was laid off from my job over a year ago. They moved my operation center to India and I haven't been able to find a job since. In my last attempt, I went through 3 rounds of interviews for a Systems Engineer position. The recruiter informed me I was the best candidate by far. 2 weeks and some days after the third interview I was told I didn't get the position. And that was just this week. Now with nothing left to rely on, I may have to sell my house to stay afloat. My 4 pets would have to be sent to shelters. At this moment is when I have decided that I need to pursue something I am passionate about. I want to create my own Animation Studio. I have written several short stories that I want to bring to life and some music videos I'd need to purchase rights to, to use the music for, but I need help! The money would be used to hire 2 animators and help me keep my home! gofund.me/411c815f3

I promise my ideas are worth the investment, especially if you enjoy anime! Please donate to my fundraiser below. Please share if you can.
