COMMUNITY CALL-IN FOR CHEZALE RODRIGUEZ

Welcome and thank you for joining our fundraising campaign for ChezSpirit, the home ("chez") of a spirit of hope, heart and healing vibras (vibes). We have decided to open up a crowdfunding source to maximize the opportunity for Chezale to have full access to the resources needed for a complete recovery from her T12 spinal cord injury & reconstructive surgery that occurred on September 3, 2023 due to a traumatic automobile accident. Funds raised will be used to contribute to ongoing health care costs across multiple modalities of therapy, training, medical supplies, and specialized equipment. We are honored to have you in our circle of prayer and support to assist in Chezale's journey to walk and dance again!

Greetings ChezSpirit Community!

It's been a while since posting here, so I thought I'd pop in with some updates from over the last several months...

As part of our New Life Day Celebration & Benefit Concert on 9/3/24, I released my latest single, "BREAK" (available wherever you stream your music) & premiered the music video with a special screening. This was the last official music video I produced just months before the accident.

I talk about it here...

It was an emotional moment I will never forget sharing on that Hotel Congress Plaza with friends & family. If you could not make it, no worries...

You can see the FULL Music Video for "BREAK" here!

One of my most powerful pieces yet and a message that holds even greater meaning than it did when I first wrote it. I'm beyond grateful to live to share it with you all! I hope it leaves you feeling empowered when life gets tough, and that it reminds you that we're tougher.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible! 

See how this song made an impact on social media below...

-- This was my vulnerable share of some tough breakthrough moments in my own recovery journey & call to action in hopes to inspire...

My #BreakReelChallenge

-- I'm honored that these 3 fellow SCI Warriors participated in the #breakreelchallenge (πŸ“California & Dubai) by sharing these courageous moments on their journey towards recovery...with my song "BREAK" as the backdrop & garnering over 12K views!! I continue to be inspired.

Watch Here! #BreakReelChallenge

More updates/recaps soon...

The journey continues with Hope, Heart & Healing. Never give up...🌻

Happy November! πŸ‚

 

Needless to say, we're dancin' here in Arizona at the excitement of cooler temps! We hope the season is being good to you so far. Life has been moving fast, but we've been itching to share about our New Life Day Celebration & Benefit Concert that took place on September 3rd. 

What a HUGE difference 1 Year can make...

 

This is how we chose to celebrate this significant marking of survival & our journey towards healing & recovery...with our beloved COMMUNITY. πŸ«‚ This night was pure, utter magic. ✨️ And the love filled every corner of the Plaza. ❣️

 

Special thanks & love to Katie Haverly for being bold in heart & approaching us with the urge to help and fiercely collaborating with us to make this a reality. You truly showed us what unwavering support looks like. You asked questions, you listened (deeply), you led & honored our space when needed & always made us feel safe with you. πŸ’πŸ’“

Each performing act holds a special place in our hearts. Everyone's artistry displayed high frequency energy that was filled with heart & care and brought tears to our eyes. πŸ₯Ί Thank you all for sharing your beautiful gifts with us...leaving us inspired. 🎁

Thank you to Hannah Levin at KXCI Tucson for sharing your beautiful words on stage and always inviting me to such meaningful conversation. Also, for reminding us that we can hold both grief & joy simultaneously.

Thank you Hotel Congress for your hospitality & collaboration in this process. And to the phenomenal Tech Crew (lighting, sound & more)!

Thank you ALL for making this a night to remember❗️ 

 

On this day, you helped us raise over $4,500 towards our goal!!! πŸ†
