ANNOUNCEMENT
After months and months and months of trying to find any workable way around it, I've made the extremely difficult decision to shut down The Hazel Project indefinitely.
I've made this decision out of necessity, there simply isn't enough of me to give The Hazel Project the time and attention it deserves while also being the father that my children deserve, the employee my company deserves, and the man I deserve all at the same time.
The Hazel Project never feels like a burden, the honor of helping so many people is far too great to ever feel that way, but the time and energy it consumes, especially from those of us who care enough to run it Rachel's way, is massive and frequently overwhelming.
I hope someday to be in a position to help bring it back, so it can once again be a point of connection for so many terrific people, everyone who has given their donations, their financial contributions, their time and energy, and everyone who has found help without judgement when they were in need. It has been a magnificent honor to witness and contribute to all the good The Hazel Project has accomplished.
Thank you so much everyone, your love for your fellow humans manifested something truly amazing, I'm forever grateful for your trust and your support.
Goodbye for now,
Neil
