ABOUT IAN

Ian is a kind, generous soul who has always shown up for others. Whether it’s supporting friends, family, or community members, Ian gives selflessly.From working extensively in retail - wearing many hats as recruiter, trainer, mentor, educator, visual merchandiser, leader, sales coach, and more - to jewelry design, Ian loves meeting people and interacting with them on a daily basis. In fact, creating new relationships has always been one of his most personal enjoyments in life.He campaigned for city council in Salem due to his continued desires to be an active and productive member of the community - again, focusing on helping others.To that end, Ian has volunteered at his local church, for Over the Rainbow Social club (assisting in social events and more for LGBT+ seniors and allies/caregivers), and been part of other LGBT and other charitable organizations.

NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO RALLY BEHIND HIM

Currently he is on leave from work and may need to extend it for a long time due to his dialysis and other treatments - several times a week.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL HELP

Every dollar donated will go directly toward: Medical expenses — dialysis costs, transplant work-ups, surgeriesHealth insurance copays and premiums;Medications and treatments not fully covered; Household essentials — rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries; Transportation to medical appointments; Recovery support for Ian
