Hugo Domecq hasn't added a story.
As I am writing an address to the people I love most, and have been most loved by, the faces of all of you run through my mind, and I picture us in circumstances that have been filled with happiness and adventure, spirit and fellowship.
I imagine and hope that when I come to your mind, you remember the creative conquests, hilarious stories, and unforgettable moments we've been through together too.
I've always been good at burying my darker struggles during those good times. So much so, that I imagine it may not even be on the radar of most of the folks I've come to call my family and friends. So, I'm writing this appeal for support to ask for help as I prepare for one of the toughest things I've ever had to do.
Though I've made the most of my adult life thus far, I've had some criminal charges in Miami that have been nipping at my heels since I was eighteen years old. The alleged offenses were minor. Furthermore, the charges were dealt to me through quite haphazard and unfounded circumstances. That's why with the right legal help, I'll be able to untangle my legal dillemas and get back to living. Not just living as I have been, but with the ability to walk down the street without looking over my shoulder constantly; the ability to travel the world and make art; to drive to work without anxiety and fear; to finally get to go and see where my Dad is buried. Most of all, to not be bound up worrying that my life might be ripped away from me.
As everyone knows, legal fees are expensive. Being surrounded by such a powerful DIY community, I've always taken pride in fixing, tinkering, and tackling problems myself. This however, is a dragon I can't slay on my own, and its from the deepest, most earnest place in my heart that I'm asking for your help.
Thanks so much for the continued love and support,
Hugo D.
