Help a Silversmith with Broken Hand
Donation protected
Help Parker and Robin, a pair of metalsmiths with a broken hand and a busted knee. They need help paying their bills after an accident broke Parker’s right hand days before moving across the country to begin his dream job as an Apprentice Silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
Parker's hand after his latest doctor's appointment
The insurance coverage for his new job does not begin until after Christmas so everything has been out of pocket. As if this weren’t enough, his partner Robin, who is staying in Illinois to finish a Master of Fine Arts, injured her knee and will need an MRI to assess the damage. Just when they thought nothing more could be thrown at them, the home he was supposed to move into in Williamsburg had a significant mold problem and was uninhabitable. The result has been him living in a hotel since mid October while waiting to move into a different house. The combination of their medical bills with the unforeseen moving costs has depleted their meager savings.
I, Robin, hope that you can help offset some of the unanticipated expenses that have become this Epic Move of Epic Fail. Parker was able to break the lease on The Mold House, but was left with partial success in recovering the money that had already been paid toward the property. He was not reimbursed for being unable to move in due to the mold. He may have found a new home, but it will not be ready for occupation until mid December. In that time he will need to continue paying for storage on his belongings, the hotel room, and all the medical expenses that have become our lives.
Parker has spent years of hard work dedicated to his craft. I am excited that this energy has allowed him an opportunity that we dreamed about for years. It is unfortunate that these different things have all happened at the same time. Individually, these events would be frustrating but manageable, together, not as much. Thank you for your help and support.
