A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

He’s Home

Earlier this week we got news that Arwen “Spliff” Rosa, one of the four members of the community that was injured in a car wreck back in July was in need of help.  Well with the help of ModBlog readers Arwen is on his way back home from Texas today.

A big thank you to everyone who was able to donate to bringing him home to his family.  As jaded as we can be sometimes, it is good to see that when someone is in need, the community can come together to help them out.

    The story of Arwen really touched me, more than anything I have seen in a long time, and it really brings a smile to my face knowing that everything worked out for the family and he is flying home to the people who I guess have been waiting for this day to come for so long! All I hope for is a speedy recovery for him 🙂

    Thank you all for your love and support. We would not have made it this far without! I am almost home. Waiting in Philly for my last flight. We’ve waited and waited, feeling like this day would never come. Only 7 weeks till our Baby Girl, Odessa, arrives. Here’s to a new chapter<3 Wish us luck and please don’t stop sending positive energy our way. This is nowhere near over….
