Trixie's 2nd Knee Replacement surgery

Donation protected
One Down, One to Go:
It’s been eight months since Trixie’s first knee replacement, and she is scheduled to undergo surgery for the replacement of her left knee in September.
With your help, in June of 2020 Trixie can get back to doing what she does best – the creation of masterful works in metal, and the education of future top-tier welders.

What Happened?
Over three decades of doing intense physical labor led to Trixie’s excruciating knee pain. Her doctors advised her to replace both knees so that the pain could be reduced, and she could get back to work.

What is the Average Cost of Knee Replacement in U.S.?
Average costs for hospitalization, surgery, and recovery range from
$16,500 to $33,000.
Trixie is presently on disability and has only been able to afford minimal health insurance. She is asking the community to help her cover her exorbitant medical costs, and also her costs of living so that she can 100% focus on getting back to work as soon as possible.

About Trixie:
Originally from New York, Trixie is an expert fabricator/welder. For 35 years her skills have contributed to countless incredible architectural and fine art projects, including work that has been on exhibit at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art. Her high-end metal fabrication can presently be seen at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House, as well as within many exquisite edifices and fine art pieces throughout the country. She is known for her extraordinary generosity and kindness, which she shares equally with friends, colleagues and especially those in need.

How Can You Help?
You can do two things: (1) Please contribute what you can today; and (2) please forward this Go Fund Me page far and wide, especially to all those who you believe would be interested in helping this talented artist literally get back on her feet. Thanks for your support and for helping to get the word out! With your generosity, Trixie will be working and teaching again by summer 2020!
