Pasco wants to show up for a friend of his as he works toward sobriety after a lifetime of hardship. This friend grew up in care, lost siblings to gang life, and has battled serious mental-health challenges despite managing to carve out a career for himself. Pasco has been a steady presence through it all and now wants to help him further - along with a few other men in their circle - build stronger, healthier connections. With $500, he’ll gift four “mates’ dates,” giving his friend and three friends $100 each to spend on quality time with another man, creating space for support, vulnerability and genuine friendship.
