Giving and receiving

Brandon is working on his manuscript 'growing down', which is the story of his early years from childhood to young adult.

He started writing it in 1989, and is now having the current draft typed up. Once that is done, he will begin rewriting and contextualising his early lifestory, adding perspectives from three different viewpoints: the 1940s when he was living it; the 1990s when he was writing; and with respect to race, including the election of the first African American President.

This is very important to Brandon, and he feels he does not have much time remaining to complete his project.

What we are calling for are donations to help him pay his typing fees, which will amount to about $400. All donations will be gratefully received, and you will be helping Brandon to tell his story, a piece of African American history as well as a personal document.

Please send your donation to Brandon's agent:

Mr Del Cassidy
142 Wilmer Street
Glassboro
New Jersey 08028

and be sure to provide your name and address so Brandon can personally thank you. He advises you to send US dollars if possible.

Thank you in advance!
