Atkinson Family Emergency Fund

Matt Atkinson, his wife Tonya and their children left their house fully expecting to return to the home they built filled with love and memories, and paints and equipment Matt needed to support his family as an artist. Unfortunately this was not to be the case. While away, a fire burned through the house destroying almost everything inside. While structurally sound, the house cannot be lived in and all of Matt's painting equipment gone. Insurance will replace some things but in the mean time they are in a hotel with little more than what they had in the car.

Matt has helped and inspired so many people. I started this page so that we as his family, friends and fans have the opportunity to help Matt and his family in a small way. With Tanksgiving coming up and Christmas just around the corner, I would like to try to make things a little better for them. 

Please note that I have spoken to Matt about this and gotten his approval to do this. All donations will go directly to Matt and his family. I am just sort of coordinating this effort.

Thank you,
Shere Hara
