I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 12yrs. The medical field was very eager to give me man made medications to save my life. I am grateful that they saved my life, but in reality those meds also gave me many horrible side-effects. The only thing that kept me going was my passion for the theatre. Aside from the fact the medication was keeping me alive, I’ve had to endure horrific side effects that caused some physical damage. Art became the love of my life, the very thing I needed to cope with what I was going through. I utilized my theatrical memories and decided to work on making my biggest dream come true.
No child, etc. deserves to go through what I have; I wanted to stand up with my art, so that people would know that they aren’t alone. Due to this I have been told by those like me, and worse that I am an inspiration to them. A reason to keep going, and that was part of my dream! The rest was to become a star, which is the dream of most teens. Today, I don’t long to become a star. I just wish to be able to pay the bills, and continue being in the health to inspire others. There are some artists that I would love to work with, but if I can’t that’s ok too.

 Today, I want to continue being a voice that encourages anyone in my shoes to never give up and keep their faith! AngelasArtArea™ will do that, while helping me to pay for food, medicine, rent, and to attend events that support others.

 This is my vision: “AngelasArtArea™ is the artwork of Angela Taylor. A percent is donated to the cause or non-profit of her choice. The rest pays for material, the energy put into creating it, etc. AngelasArtArea™ helps different causes, and non-profits find the financial help they need to save more lives, help more children with education, help the arts, etc.

Today, I strive to prevent children from having the same issues that I have today.
Due to Cannabis Oil helping me I only have a Complex-Partial seizure every month. It takes me a few days to recover from a Complex-Partial seizure, because they are harder on my body today. Just as I did since 12yrs, I wonder each night if it will be my last. It makes me appreciate life that much more, and value every minute of it. The only hope that I have is Medical Marijuana. I've been on Cannabis Oil for awhile now thanks to the medical professionals who were kind enough to help me in that area! I now know 100% that it helps chronic pain, as when I have seizures the pain they cause is easier to cope with. I also have fewer seizures now, and have been able to decrease my other medication.  Cannabis Oil and the medical equipment that I need are very expensive though, so please help if you can.  The other medication that I’m on at the moment decreases my bone mass, while increasing my pain. I already have Osteoporosis, due to the meds that I've been on for years. Please donate today so that I will be able to move, and get the medical treatment that I and so many deserve. Medical Marijuana is not legal here in Ga. and I along with many others deserve the right to at least try what may save our lives.  Please help me pay for the medications, medical equipment, and dr. visits that will help me be in the health to continue helping others in need.

  Every little bit helps and counts! When you donate you help pass on the message that Medical Marijuana should be legalized to give those in need every option that may help them. 

The photo below, I made for an online contest. It shows two pictures of me right after surgery, and three photos years after surgery. It took months for me to physically recover, as I woke up with my left side temporarily paralyzed. I am still not 100% emotionally recovered, and cannot think as fast as many can. I can think though, and this is not a reason to discriminate against me.  No doctor knows if I will fully recover, but many drs are surprised that I can think as well as I can today. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Cannabis Oil is helping in that area!


The next picture below shows me while I was on medication, and what it did to my gums, and facial hair.  It does not show the fact that I have to see a gum specialist to make sure that my gums stay healthy. It also doesn't show the fact that I have to wear a mouthpiece, and see a specialist, because my jaw pops out of joint now. It also doesn't show the fact that my teeth often hurt so much that I have to go off and on a liquid diet. Just because you can't see harm, doesn't mean it's not there. It does mean that it will not cause emotional pain for you. Still, everyone on this earth counts, even me. Please help ease my pain, donate today so that I can afford to get the medical care I need. May this not happen to another living soul, because it's criminal.


This next picture of me was made to update you guys on my health. The treatment that I made for my scar is made with Coconut oil, and peppermint oil mixed together. I apply it once a month to my scar, massaging it into my scalp. Then I let it soak in for an hr. I suspect that adding Cannabis Oil to it would help, but cannot afford it.
As a separate treatment, I take 25drops of Cannabis Oil 3 times a day in juice. This is not cheap, so I beg you to donate! Every little bit counts, and is appreciated!


The next picture is of my AYR Saline nasal spray, and gel. I use these each day to help as it hurts to breathe through my nose. I put that on my nose a few times a day, just as my specialist taught me. He has made it clear that he just cannot do anything more in my case. On bad days my nose gives the same feeling one gets when water goes up it, and tends to bleed. It was explained to me that happens because my nose dries out Only on bad days though, because I follow my specialist's advice. I treat it daily.

I also use eye drops, which my eye dr. told me about. The next picture shows them. 

My ears also act up, so I am unable to go to the movie theatre without wearing ear protection. My ears can't take that amount of noise. Please donate, as I cannot afford to move at the moment, and this house being so old it is in great need of repair. I am 100% positive that living here increases my allergies; I just cannot afford to fix it. It’s damaging to my Aunt as well, which is why I'm trying to earn enough money in order to help.


I am also on a vegan diet, which helps my health. I tend to have extreme allergic reactions when I go off my diet.
After becoming vegan, many of my conditions are much better! One was extreme constipation. I would go for a few weeks without using the restroom, I kid you not! Today I use the restroom each day. Sadly, vegan foods are not always cheap. In cases like mine they are extremely needed. Please consider donating to help me with my diet. Thank you to all of those who have donated so far. You have no idea what that means to me.


Please note that I (Angela Taylor) am the only person working on this page, along with my newsletter, and many other things keeping AngelasArtArea™ and ArtCardsUnited alive. I am only one person, so please be patient. If you are interested in helping please leave me a message.


Have a great week everyone!
