Hello my friends. Hope all is well with you and your family. Just 7 years ago, my life was a beautiful dream. I was a Competition Ice Carver, and a Novice Wood Carver. Then my life took a hard turn. My Beautiful Wife, my Best Friend Lynn, was Diagnosed with ALS. And Subsequently passed away in her sleep. By far the worst day of my life. My life will never be the same. Just to keep my head above water, I prayed every day. Then, had to sell off all of my artwork and all of my tools for a song. At this point in my life I was nothing more than a lost puppy. Then April 18th 2021 I was diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer. After four surgeries, 12 weeks of chemotherapy, and 7 weeks of radiation, by the grace of God, I'm still here. In order to continue to keep my head above water, I'll need funds to help save my home, and funds for second-hand tools, so that I can get back to carving again. I need to get back on my horse, I need to (carve out a Life).
