A little about me; My father is Italian, my mother was Bosnian, and I, was born in London. Sadly my mum passed away when I was just 14 years of age. My dad couldn’t handle it and neither could we. This led to me being kicked out of the house before the age of 15. It was tough at the time but it’s these events that helped me to become the man that I am today. I brought myself up since a teen. I have lived in all sorts of conditions, an I’ve been involved with all sorts of madnesses. I did what I did to survive, and I am proud to have made it this far. Independency is a skill that you can never forget. And a skill that I cherish. I learnt the true value of money. I experienced the real meaning of struggle. And I began to understand the value of life…. Fast forward to April 2022, then 33 years of age, and there I was, recovering from life saving surgeries. Smoking near 7g of weed a day. Wasting away, day by day…gaming and being unproductive. Due to my poorly condition I couldn’t walk/work. This led me to lose near everything; My home. Every penny I had. My sanity. My “friends”. My dog. Not even my daughter was not able to stay with me anymore, this hurt me the most. I couldn’t pay my rent in full which landed me huge fines, multiple court orders, judgments on top, a huge debt plus more. I had no idea what to do. Panicking daily. Numbing the pain with the weed I puffed. By this time I was living in a caravan, struggling badly… Then suddenly it happened… …….THE WEB3……. I listened to a dear friend of mine…and I took a leap into the new… The web3/NFT space honestly saved my life. The positivity I found myself surrounded by. The drive and willpower of those speaking in spaces. It was IMMENSE. It was like nothing I have heard before. The first community I ever joined even came together and raised me enough funds for a deposit and 2 months rent in advance for a place to live. This generosity was unheard of to me prior to joining the web3. I am forever thankful for those involved. It was against my will, but I have learnt that sometimes in life you must accept the help offered to you. Fast forward to now…more than one year has passed since joining and boy what a ride it has been. I have climbed the ranks through my honest hard work. I am privileged to be on the team of Styles Ps very own NFT project! I now lead communities, host spaces, administrate discords and manage projects. I am proud of my achievements. I have met many here that have struggled similar to, or worst than myself and I have enjoyed supporting them in anyway that I could. I have onboarded many to great communities. Witnessing them grow, gain job roles and some are now even paid. I have gifted my NFTs to others. The joy that it brings them is a win in itself for me. I am not well off. I have hardly anything to my name. I live each day as it comes. I myself am in the same boat as many. But being who I be and doing what I do, if I have the opportunity to help, then that’s just what I do. Kindness is the key. You should always be kind to others. Do everything with a smile. And always try to find the positives out of a situation. Now, enough of my rambling. I appreciate everyone of you and I thank all that have been a part of this great journey so far. Big big love! Vich.33 And as always, “Carpe Diem” 👊🏽

Receiving DMs on how my giveaways have helped those that have won them so far means more to me than a x100 or other form of gain. Helping those that need it matters more to me than money. I do it for the people. For those in need. For those that I can have an actual impact on.
