PRAYING FOR A DONOR ANGEL
FOR THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN
HERE IS THE SHORT STORY:
I have written a rough draft of my book, Wake Up Laughing, help for anxiety and depression. I am using my lifetime of living with and mastery of anxiety and depression as well as the experiences of others, to shed light on how to reverse our current mental health pandemic. I have started a podcast supporting my book that is already serving to offer inspiration to those suffering from anxiety or depression. I am employing the help of a professional literary agent and writing coach to ensure the success of these projects. I have used up my life savings to get this far. Writing a book and managing a podcast and launching a multitiered marketing strategy is a full time job that will pay off in the future. I am looking for people who feel for the sad condition of the mental health of youth (and everyone else) in America today and would like to make a donation to someone like me with real experience with anxiety and depression who is offering real activities and lifestyle changes to affect lifetime improvements in mental and physical health. I am looking into being able to receive tax deductable donations. For now it would be a donation or "paying it forward". Any amount is appreciated. Large donations are needed.
The future of the world, eventually, will be in the hands of the youth, so let's give them all the support we can. My podcast already serves all ages for the good of all.
Benefits of book and podcast:
*Reduce anxiety and or depression in your life
*Increase overall physical and mental health
*Help build a stronger individual, family, and community
*Make life more fun
*Help others find daily activities to create health and happiness also
*Realize the importance of showing up for youth right now
Funds will be used for:
*Completion of book and publication (rough draft is complete)
*Creating more helpful podcasts
*Outreach such as speaking events
Please take a look at the new and evolving website davidcmunson.com that will lead you to the podcasts on youtube.
Also please take a look at the attached preface for the book by the world famous Patch Adams who I just interviewed on my radio show.

THE LONGER STORY
I have a podcast ! So does everyone else. I am writing a book! Like everyone else. I have been the host of a radio show about farming and rebuilding the fabric of community called Farm Talk for over 11 years. Not very many people have done that.
I am using the skills developed and the wisdom gained over these eleven plus years to create a book that will bring relief to those suffering from anxiety or depression and a podcast that already serves the suffering and strengthens those not yet suffering.
That's a lot of words. What I am offering humanity (especially the youth) are my life experiences as well as the experiences of others. I started dealing with depression at the age of 18 and anxiety at the age of 20. I had a completely debilitating nervous breakdown at the age of 21 and have spent the rest of my life recreating myself as a loving, caring, giving, passionate individual devoted to self nurturing, a man dedicated to honoring nature and creating healthy individuals, families, and communities.
This book and podcast is a labor of love. I was, at the start of covid, writing a book about the healing power of laughter. Once I realized the scope of the pandemic and mental anguish that teenaers were facing, including my own kids, I stopped the book solely focusing on the healing power of laughter and set out to write and publish a book filled with healing practices of every ilk to be a rescue and a balm for the tragic state of youth in America. The drug overdose and death of a 19 year old member of our family further solidified my conviction to this book project.
Today, my book is written in its rough form and I am focusing on a brand new podcast to create a platform to bring attention to the book as well as to facilitate healing and awareness itself.
I have hired a literary agent and writing coach who works for Waterside Publishing to ensure my success and speed up the process. I have a preface written by the world famous Patch Adams, who I interviewed on kskq.org radio just yesterday. There are several bestseller authors who are mentoring me. So far, as I tell people I am writing a book to offer hope and healing to people suffering from anxiety and depression, no one has told me it is a stupid idea.
In my life I have been healed by river guides, rock climbers, psychologists, dancers, parents, grandparents, heroes, mentors, running, biking, girlfriends, travel, breath, yoga, my kid’s mom, bike riding, good food, vision quests, sweat lodges, psychedelics, love workshops, loving friends, canoeing, sweating, sitting around fires, service to humans, service to nature , fasting, meditating, soccer, ping pong, roller blading, pets, laughter, sleep, human gatherings in person, thinking positive, chi gung, my children, music, play, singing, hard work, hiking, and gardening ( to mention quite a few). I have also been healed by myself. By my devotion to learning how to regulate my health and happiness by learning mind management and creating a daily lifestyle that feeds all my needs while serving others. I share these in my podcast and book with the whole world, through interviews with amazing beautiful humans and the sharing of my own experiences both from the packed halls of academia to the broad reaching freedom of the Grand Canyon or sailing at sea......
This email is a request for financial support for this much needed project. With the help of my writing coach, I am doing marketing research (as well as marketing itself) to be sure I have a unique niche and expertise to share with the world. I have used up my life savings to get this far. Writing a book and operating a podcast and multi-layered marketing is a full time job.
Your donation could be a lump sum or a monthly gift. I am looking into the possibility of receiving tax deductible donations. For now it would be a gift or a pay it forward situation.
The decision to isolate the children of America and increase their screen time was the final straw in a long history of the mistreatment of children. A donation to my project is a donation to the health of America. I say this not because I am patriotic but because the condition of America is the only realm I can claim to somewhat understand from personal experience.
Thank you for your time. Please share this with any and all interested parties. All of the project information is available at davidcmunson.com.
In love,
David Munson
