A small fundraiser for Tom and Anne Merino to assist in making life a little easier during Tom's current cancer battle. This is Tom's third bout with cancer after surviving two earlier campaigns against bladder cancer in 2006 and 2020. The 2020 cancer bout meant a complete removal of the bladder so, unfortunately, this 2023 recurrence (in the ureters) is going to be a major fight.

Some modest assistance in making ends meet would help relieve tremendous stress while Tom undergoes rigorous cancer treatment. I apologize for needing to run one of these Gofundme things. It's mortifying to realize how poorly one has managed to organize life's necessities. A life in the arts is a wonderful, vibrant thing but often, not an easy one. Very grateful for all our lovely friends, appreciating any positive thoughts and prayers.
