JAN 20th open heart surgery...

                                     Hospital gowns is sexy.

Hello friends! 
   
The scoop:    
        I've had heart issues since birth. What I have is called mitral valve prolapse. It's usually benign. However, mine is not benign and my heart needs to be repaired asap. The blood regurgitation in my left ventricle has caused it to swell. Very alarming. Pretty dangerous.
        Fortunately, OHP will cover the surgery which will be in the coming 1-3 months. What I need from you is a bit of money while I am stuck in the hospital and in bed at home, probably unable to lift a spoon to my mouth, let alone work. But rent keeps needing to be paid, doesn't it? And other bills taboot. Help me not lose my home while I deal with this dud of a heart.
         My rent just got raised to $790/month. (Thanks Portland). With that and bills, I figure $3500 will get me through 3 months. I probably won't get near that, but you know, gotta try.

        P.S. Anyone who gives $500 or more can have an original piece of art when I'm well enough to make it. Painting, drawing, whatever you choose. And any subject matter you like. Examples: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1707681730786.100906.1200339431&type=1&l=3dad2ecd05
