    SHARING STORIES: Meet Michael Sharpe

    Season of Sharing Fund gave some peace of mind — and dignity — to widower Michael Sharpe as he coped with the death of his wife. A couple of years after his wife Kimberly died, Michael Sharpe still keeps her clothes in the drawers and closets of his small Novato apartment. When Kimberly was first got diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2020, she was still able to manage her small business. Her cancer went into remission, but over the next year, the business suffered, losing a significant client. By the time Kimberly died, in October 2022, Sharpe was behind on rent. That’s where social service agency Community Action Marin and the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund came in.  ---- SHARING STORIES is a new a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance that I working on with the SF Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund.

    SHARING STORIES: Meet Jose Guevara

    Season of Sharing Fund gave some peace of mind to Jose Guevara while he focused on his daughter's health.  Jose is the proud papa of five, including Patti, 14, Richard, 13, and Emiliee, 5.  Patti Guevara’s pain started two years ago — in her back and her knees. Doctors brushed off her father’s concerns, blamed her symptoms on her weight and sent her home with aspirin. Guevara took her to “basically every hospital” in the area. Finally, in July 2022, physicians at Stanford Children’s Health found a 4-inch tumor on Patti’s spine — and rushed her into surgery. She had Ewing sarcoma, a rare cancer that strikes children and young adults. Jose had to quit his job to care for Patti and his younger kids. Assistance from the Season of Sharing Fund helped Guevara cover rent as he transitioned from working full time to being Patti’s full-time caregiver, which he is paid for through California’s In-Home Supportive Services Program. ---- SHARING STORIES is a new a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance that I working on with the SF Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund.

    SHARING STORIES: Meet Kevin, Laurel and Susan

    Did you know it costs upwards of $50,000 to help one person find stable housing after they lose their home? Meanwhile, it takes just a couple thousand to help someone deal with an unexpected financial emergency and stay in their home. That is where the Season of Sharing Fund comes in. Started in 1986, Season of Sharing Fund is a unique, compassionate homelessness prevention model that's powered by donations from Bay Area neighbors helping neighbors.  On this episode, we'll look at how the Fund works. We'll introduce you to Season of Sharing Fund's Executive Director Kevin Swanson, as well as Laurel Hill, a longtime partner from Community Action Marin and Susan Malloy, a client who became a Season of Sharing Fund donor.  ---- SHARING STORIES is a new a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance that I working on with the SF Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund.

    SHARING STORIES: Meet Marlus Stewart

    Season of Sharing Fund gave some peace of mind to retired nonprofit leader Marlus Stewart.  Asking for help wasn’t supposed to be part of Stewart’s story. She was the helper. But in 2019, the unimaginable happened. Stewart’s son, her only child, died of suicide at age 50. The grief was unbearable and struggling with health issues, she "lost everything."  She had been living in her car off and on for about six months when she connected with Season of Sharing through Catholic Charities. Season of Sharing Fund helped paid her deposit after she won a housing lottery in Sonoma. Now, she and her dog Mercedes Marie have a place to call home.  ---- SHARING STORIES is a new a series of portraits of people in the Bay Area who have received one-time emergency rental assistance that I working on with the SF Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund.

    Introducing SHARING STORIES: Profiles of Help + Hope

    It's been awhile since I've dropped an episode, but I hope to revisit THE INTERSECTION in the New Year.  In the meantime, I wanted to share a project I've been working on called SHARING STORIES.

    Update: BURNING MAN confronts GLOBAL ISSUES

    As the media portrays 2023's Burning Man as a hellscape, THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man revists the work of a group of Burners at the 2019 event. They felt that the overwhelmingly white community wasn't living up to its self-proclaimed principle of Radical Inclusion. Find out what has changed and what hasn't. And, as you are bombarded with online click bait about 70,000 people being stranded in the desert, I encourage you to listen to the nine-episode season of THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man. You’ll hear the stories of an insanely creative, giving, conscious, and unconventional community.  ----- Go to THE INTERSECTION.FM to learn more about the series. To learn more about Erin Douglas, founder of @blackburnerproject and the lead artist of Black! Asé, check out the project's website.  For all things Favianna Rodriguez, head to Favianna's website.
