Over the last decade, inker Chris Ivy’s life crumbled around him. After years of attempting unsuccessfully to move into other careers, Ivy eventually ended up homeless, living out of his SUV. Once he reached out to the Hero Initiative, we were able to negotiate with Ivy’s creditors, help him move from a shelter into his own apartment, and find paying work at IDW Publishing. Sadly, Ivy’s story isn’t unique; only with the help of donations are we able to give similar assistance to those in need.

I don’t have enough words to express the gratitude to Hero Initiative for their help in giving me the chance to start feeling like a normal person again after ten years.
