Care 4 Korona
Donation protected
The last year and a half has been challenging for all of us. We all know many who have been affected by tragedies caused by the global pandemic COVID-19. The stress of navigating a life-threatening illness while having to be closed off from our respective communities has tested all of our will to not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity. Add to that stress, the reality of having to keep spirit in able to make use of the limited ways with which we’ve been left to earn a living, and it becomes clear that even though we can’t be together, we must still figure out how to come together.
In our own community, our friend, respected art-activist Miz Korona has been faced with persevering through her parents multiple bouts with coronavirus in addition to her own battles with the illness on two separate occasions. Though she has been able to bring her normal level of perspective, creativity, and ingenuity to the world by releasing The Virus EP (with an accompanying merchandise capsule) and officially launching the high end streetwear brand Triple Peaks, Miz Korona now needs our support to survive another battle.
Miz Korona was recently informed that she would need to undergo a corrective and preventative procedure to address injuries sustained to her ACL and meniscus this summer. Working within the limitations of COVID-19 as a performing artist and entrepreneur, Miz Korona has been able to plan for stable care and provision during her 6 month recovery period. However, because of the nature of the injury that Korona has sustained and the extended time required for her full recovery, Miz Korona will not be able to work in any traditional capacity during that time.
We, her friends, are asking that we rally around Miz Korona to ensure that she is able to meet the financial requirements of sustaining her life while covering medical expenses and follow-up care plans that are not covered by her health insurance provider. We have determined the amount required to eliminate any financial distress in these areas would amount to roughly $10,000. In these times, we also recognize that most others have limited resources, but are asking that those who can, please donate to Miz Korona’s crowd-sourcing campaign that will assist her in subsidizing her expenses while maintaining the integrity of her independence.
In the strength and spirit of community,
