https://gofund.me/eed63e67 Hello, My name is Michael Trajan Todoran and I need your help. Currently my mortgage is 1 month delinquent and soon it will be two months delinquent.  In February 2023 I was unexpectedly laid off at a Landscape Architecture Firm. It was devastating. My wife and I discussed our options and we decided to launch HAPS Agency and pursue my passion for architectural photography and filmmaking. While setting up the Agency we used our savings to incorporate, purchase the required photography equipment, software, insurance, website, and bills. I have been drafting and designing landscape design simultaneously to support our family and because I still love that work. I am blessed that HAPS has wonderful clients and a steady revenue stream. However, the duration that it took us to get here has put us at a deficit. I’m asking my community to collectively help us acquire enough for 1 month’s mortgage so I can get a good night’s sleep without waking up fearing of losing our house that we worked so hard for. If you know me personally you know that when you are sick I’m the first one to visit you in the hospital, when you need financial support I’m the first one to donate, when you have no one to talk to, I’m there. This is a humbling and embarrassing situation to be in, but I can not let pride threaten everything we worked for especially since we are so close to homeostasis. I have been a relentless advocate for the Landscape Architecture community since 2015 and hope it can be returned in kind.
