Help This Artist Work Again
Donation protected
Many of you might know my Dad.
His name is Diego Caicedo. He's a local artist and carpenter and for the past 4 years, with our small family business, we have had the honor to visit your beautiful homes and done amazing projects for many families in the area.
My parents and I arrived to this country from Colombia running from violence, knowing we could not return. But as our lives started all over again, I witnessed wood come alive into intricate designs under my father's capable hands.
Whether it was a sliding barn door designed by the client with my dad's help, tables and benches where families would sit together and have a meal, or the furniture piece that was missing in the puzzle of a room; my favorite part has always been the excitement in people's faces when they saw what was once an idea, being now a tangible reality in front of their eyes . It's always nice to see that a piece of his work will become an integral part of someone else's story.
Unfortunately, after a few months of pain and a couple tests done, the doctors found a Nerve Sheath Tumor in his lower back. We were told the only way he can work again like he used to, and live a life free of pain, was to remove the tumor. He hasn't been able to work as much lately and as you may know, between the doctor, hospital and medical team; surgery expenses can get very high and we don't have insurance.
This is why I'm asking you to help.
My Dad, Mom and I would greatly appreciate a donation to help with the cost of the surgery, but even if you can't, sharing the link to this fundraiser on any of your social media accounts, would greatly help too.
We are hoping that with your support and with God's blessing, my Dad can get back on his feet soon and keep doing what he has loved to do since he was 14 years old.
As I mentioned before, Dad's work has become an integral part of many people's stories, and your support will now become an integral part of our story too.
Thank you.
