Fire Devastation

Hello, my name is Yvonne McDaniel, and I am fundraising for my brother, Michael Cangemi. On December 30, 2021, Mike's house burned to the ground. He was living in an old house on our niece's property near Blooming Grove, TX. The house was in pretty bad shape and it was not insured.

While Mike was out that day, he came home to firetrucks and the devastation of the fire - not only his home, but countless memories, photos, paintings, guitars and all of his art supplies. Mike is 68 and lives on his very meager social security, while selling an occasional painting to help support himself. He is a very talented artist, but has always been one of the "starving" variety; he is also a wonderful singer and guitar player.

Mike is a very kind hearted person, and we love him dearly. We are praying we get enough donations to purchase a used camper trailer big enough for him to live in and continue his painting, as well as replace necessities. Please keep Mike in your prayers; and if you find it in your heart, we would greatly appreciate any donation.

I thought I'd share a few of Mike's paintings...
