Hello, my name is Ro. I’m a disabled artist & I could really use any help.

I have a brachial plexus birth defect that affects my left arm. There’s very limited motion, stunted growth, muscle spasms, & it essentially affects the entire upper left side of my body. On top of that I have pcos & have periods that last between 1-3 months that leave me with excruciating headaches &/or passing out from lack of iron. With that being said , it is very hard to work because I cannot do much physical labor. & A lot of jobs will say they can make accommodations but ultimately due to doctors appointments or not being able to do a lot physically I’ve been let go.

This has been a constant thing for the last 7 years I’ve worked. It hurts a lot feeling like a burden or unable to prove my work ethic. It hurts even more losing my job due to something I cannot control when I tried my hardest & have all I could .

With all the sappy backstory out of the way, I truly love art. I’ve been creating since I was around 9 years old. It’ll always be my passion & first love. I’ve created logos for my local new station, a few clothing items, posters for clients rooms, coloring books etc etc. I know art is something I can always do no matter what disability I have.

So I’m hoping that , with a little help, I can open my own creative work space. An art bar where we have paint parties, theme nights, paint & sips etc. Just all of us having fun & creating , regardless of anything else going on or how talented you are. Just showing your passion will be enough , a place to be accepted.

I have most of what I need, I won’t / am not asking for much I know the economy is very bad right now. Just anything is appreciated
