Hi, I’m Rev. Brian Scott O'keefe — online I go by randomblink.

I had several strokes roughly 2–3 years ago. Since then, every day has been about recovery: getting used to a body that doesn’t always do what I ask, and coaxing my brain back into focus, memory, and flow. Some days are good; some are foggy. But I’m still here, still learning, still building.

I’m asking for help so I can keep healing while continuing my creative work. If you’ve ever read something I wrote, used something I built, or just believe in second chances—thank you for standing with me.

• Therapy & health – out-of-pocket rehab sessions, meds, transportation to appointments.
• Daily living – groceries, utilities, a little breathing room so recovery isn’t derailed.
• Work reboot – quiet tools/time to rebuild my projects (including my LifeOS software), client outreach, and digital products that create sustainable income.

• Immediate target: $3,500 to stabilize essentials (meds, groceries, a rehab block).
• Monthly need: $1,200 / month to keep therapy going and cover basics during recovery.

(If you prefer, recurring monthly gifts help the most with steady rehab planning.)

• $15 – Coffee & cue cards
  Helps with focus tools and small transport costs.
• $35 – A week of staples
  Groceries that keep the lights on inside the brain.
• $75 – Utilities + meds top-up
  Removes end-of-month stress that wrecks recovery.
• $120 – One therapy session
  Directly funds a neuro/physical therapy visit.
• $250 – Maker fuel
  Covers a week of work time + recovery breaks.
• $400 – Rehab month boost
  Moves a full month of therapy measurably forward.

Prefer to hire me? Need copy, strategy, or app/UI help? Commissioning paid work helps twice—income + dignity.

1) Share this page with a personal note about why you care.

2) Invite one friend to match any amount.
3) Offer work—tiny gigs welcome (editing, copy, UI, tech setup).

I’ll post short updates here—wins, therapy notes, and shipped work—so you can see the impact you’re making.

• [MM/DD] Kicked off a new rehab block; focusing on balance + memory games.
• [MM/DD] Pushed a small feature in LifeOS; brain fog lower this week.
• [MM/DD] Groceries covered—thank you! Working on a client draft.

Is this tax-deductible?
Most personal gifts aren’t tax-deductible. If this routes through a 501(c)(3) partner, I’ll note it clearly; otherwise, please assume it’s not tax-deductible.

Can I give monthly?
Yes—monthly support keeps therapy consistent and lowers stress. It’s the most helpful option.

Can I help by hiring you?
Absolutely. Commissioning writing, UX/UI, or strategy work helps me rebuild a sustainable path. Light scopes welcome.

What if I can’t give?
Sharing the page with a sentence about why you care is powerful. Thank you.

Recovery is not a straight line. I’m being transparent without turning struggle into spectacle. Thank you for seeing the person first, not the injury.
