Another update:
Planning for my art project still coming along well. I need to wait until I have my computer to fully put it into motion. Still working on helping people through my art & conversation, so my friend & I created a podcast! I posted about it in the last update.
I have friends who are giving me places to sleep and good company, so still safe! Love you guys 💕
📖 Clancy Long's story

Hi, I’m Clancy! First off, I wanna give a huge thank you to my dad for creating this website. My story inspired him to create this, and he’s been hard at work to make sure my story gets out there and that I get support. I wouldn’t be as far as I am right now without the help from him, my mom, and my good friends Dan and Kane, + a few other amazing friends that have been giving me support, transportation and financial help, and insight.
I currently don’t have housing and am recovering from alcoholism. Now sober and I am going to stay sober! I don’t want to get too much into it because of how fresh this all is and how vulnerable I am, but I also have fresh grief, trauma, and uncertainty. Despite all of this, I’m committed to remaining positive, hopeful, integral, and kind.
My immediate plan is to find a full time job in retail, attend AA meetings, and am taking behavioral classes for extra support.
I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I’m certain it will be a successful one… I just need support to reach that. I can’t do it alone. I know a few things for certain: I will get my cat back, I will have a roof over my head, and I will have a space for my creativity and research to thrive and be seen and heard by those who need it.
My ultimate goal in life is to teach everyone the spiritual & psychological wisdom I have gained throughout my few decades of life, and I want to do that through my art, in any and all creative lenses. I want to dedicate my time to that, and my free time to travel, adventure, and experiences that fulfill me, my family, and my friends.
For that to really thrive and have its full effect on people, I need a roof over my head, and funds to continue my art.
I want to make more music, draw more illustrations, and teach as many people as possible how to understand that their bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits are all connected in one, and by you choosing to help me along the way, you’re choosing to support an artist that is dedicated to making the world a better place.
I understand that not just everyone you come across that needs help will benefit or fully appreciate people helping them to gain the bare necessities and more, and that it can be a big ask and expectation, to want as many people as possible to fund my life while I’m trying to get back on my feet…
The reason I think I’m worth this, and why my dad thinks I’m worth all of this, and why my friends do as well, is because my current struggles aren’t a result of poison I’ve put out into the world, and poison to myself (although I have to be accountable for the poison and damage I’ve caused due to my alcoholism), but they’re a result of a higher lesson of mine that is for me to learn what truly matters to me when it comes to my security, support system, what matters to me, and how to continue to nurture my creativity.
I believe that everyone deserves a chance to be successful, and everyone deserves basic needs… but with your help, I can give back to you and the world knowledge and wisdom in a way that hasn’t been organized or done before.
In other words, I feel empowered to embrace all of the things that make me special, that others see in me as well.
Stay tuned for my art, and thank you for your consideration! With infinite love and gratitude, Clancy Long

In fact, I've even asked him a few times, "does your family understand what a rare gem they have in you?" He is such a blessed & talented human being! Jeff, you know who this is and I'll say it again, this is another piece of the puzzle as to why you're still here my brother🤫🤐! Clancy, I believe you're the fruit that didn't fall far from the tree!

🙌 What Clancy Long needs
If you have a resource, a contact, or you're willing to help with any of these, let us know.
-
Housing A place to stayI can helpBefore I can get my own place, I need a place to stay. This one preferably happens before my own place and a job!
-
Work Any jobI can helpI can babysit, walk dogs, work in retail, help out in your warehouse, clean your house, cook your food—I can do almost anything that doesn’t take too much upper body strength.
-
Other Money for housingI can helpAt least $2,000 for housing allows me to have an extra layer of security on top of the money I work for myself, so that I can be certain that there’s a higher chance I am approved and so I have more leverage for hotels if needed and art equipment.
No money right now? You can still change everything for Clancy.
Help isn't only about money. Any one of these means the world — and costs nothing.

Just got done with an exciting job interview as a professional banker… the training and everything should be easy to take care of because of your help, so let’s see where this takes us. Manifesting the best outcome. 💕
Out of the hotel now, looking for another one soon. Still no long term guaranteed stay. As soon as I have a place settled, I’m gonna look for jobs nearby and continue working on my art project. Stay tuned for that
