We all know what an exhausting, fearful, and unique year 2020 was. So many people’s lives turned upside down in a matter of minutes. People lost their jobs, their loved ones, their sense of security at home, within the government and so much more. Last year may have sucked but – thanks to Lupin, if one was to be so lucky to be a part of this community, there was a big bright upside.

I found Lupin in July. Right when the quarantine cloud was really roaring. The feeling of loneliness, seeing the same view out my two windows day after day after day, being afraid to go outside of my home in San Francisco and just the overall gloomy energy everywhere I went- I needed an escape. That’s when I found Lupin.

Thanks to Lupin, the COVID era brought newness, sunshine, laughter, and community- all while being safe and adhering to the COVID guidelines. I’ve asked around… did anyone else find a bright light of sanity during this dreadful era? If I asked someone at Lupin, their answer was Lupin. If I asked online or outside of Lupin, most answers were no.

Thank you Lupin. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air. Thank you for bringing us community in a time of isolation. Thank you for saving our sanity – in the covid era.
 
We look forward to the warmth coming back and we look even more so, to the time when all can come join us without fear.
