Please help 90-year-old friend facing homelessness
Donation protected
Our beloved 90-year-old friend, Chester Brummel, artist, friend to all cats and impish jokester, has metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Recently, he has also been diagnosed with blood cancer. A kinder and more unpretentious man would be hard to find. Chester is an acclaimed photographer, who has dedicated his life to art. He has exhibited in the US, Canada, the UK and Portugal and some of his work is housed in the collections of The National Gallery of Art, The Canadian Center for Architecture, Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Chester worked for many years at the Art Institute of Chicago and has published several books on art and architecture. Retired, his income from social security is low and has failed to keep up with the ever-increasing cost of housing. He has exhausted all savings and now, frail and in constant pain, is facing imminent eviction from his home of many years.
Despite these debilitating and terminal diseases, he maintains his infectious laugh, joyous spirit and love of the world and people around him.
Please help Chester live out his remaining time in dignity, safe and with access to his long-term medical team. No contribution is too small.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
