Otterfreak's Angel Fund honoring Joshua Smelser

12/27/2025

Let’s start with Happy New Year! Christmas is over but our support of our furry friends never ends! We are going to go to https://animaledventures.com/ in Boyton Beach, Fl to personally attend to some support all them for the New Year! In the meantime, Happy New Year and we will start listing again today on Discogs and eBay this week. Sorry for the slowness but we are going to get to work on sending goodies, gifts and donations out as we have gotten so many support gifts like type cds, vinyl records, t-shirts and more and now will start putting them for sale along with the 10,000 other items still awaiting listing. We are looking into trying out Whatnot, have you heard of it? Feel free to come to the first show and if you are local and are familar with this newer platform, we are looking for a helper, send a message.

We are working hard at funding projects, even when it seems we are quiet! We have just posted one of the projects that is almost funded but there are so many more. We have become a SUPERbacker on Kickstarter and that means YOU are making so many dreams come true when you purchase something via our ebay page https://www.ebay.com/usr/otterfreakangelfund and discogs page https://www.discogs.com/seller/otterfreaksangelfund/profile as well as messaging us for any of Joshua's items for sale.
While we still have about 2000 items (maybe double that!) left to list and are VERY slowly getting it done, every dollar after any fees from the sites goes 100% to Joshua's causes he worked hard on continuously funding.
If you have a great musical, critter or entertainment cause you feel would meet our funding guidelines, PLEASE comment! We have funds to use but need this page to grow with more eyes on it. Please share our site with anyone you think we can help or can help us!!

The newest of the friends and family otter tattoos! Joshua’s Aunt Ann had this one recently done to honor him. Got an otter tattoo to share, please do! We love seeing them!
Sorry for lack of updates but the mama that runs this page is still working to help others in multiple stars and while it has prevented posting more swag, music and cool stuff, we still are supporting others with Kickstarters, great animal causes and support of all of Joshua’s favorites and new related donations while I am away. September looks promising for getting more of his collection posted. Feel free to scroll down and see if there is anything you were interested in and we can ship them out as soon as I get back home.

I am so late in updating but this Mama is super slow to post but still doing, just not as fast as she would like! Please check below for links to some new musicians we have helped and look for their upcoming CDs, LPs T-shirts and more, in the future. If you know them and love them already, though most are up and coming, please send us a message with your interest as we will be posting most of the goodies at some point. Most is limited editions, signed and or premium items that won't be available once their funding project is over so just like Joshua, we will continue to support more and more until our funds run out. I will be adding links below so we can tag the artists as well to spread the word;o) Thanks for all that have sent money, bought his old and new treasures already. This keeps our sweet boy's memories and spirit gifting alive and hoping for years to come!

Even when things are quiet, we are behind the scenes looking for funding opportunities that fit in Joshua’s far reaching gifting parameters. We have now supported a good deal of artists on different venues!
Hoping to get back to starting up again but as always, life has been getting in our way! If you see an artis listed in pics, we likely have a cd, Lp, t-shirt or some other merch on the way, we are happy to take a donation, just message us:) Here are some of the peeps we are supporting but always looking for lots more that fit in our giving project! If you know an artist, group, animal related cause that we may be able to help, have them like our page and send us a message, link to a project or link to whatever they are seeking help with:)

It is not always about supporting an artist or group for a new venture, but supporting them so they can continue to make music! Feel free to add your support too!
