Medical Funding for Rory

Medical Need: Help my brother, Rory, continue helping others!

Rory has spent 25yrs helping others with a Masters Level Fine Art Project empowering and teaching oil painting and other fine art media to those impacted by Homelessness and other conditions of vulnerability or difference.

But Rory now needs further medical treatment to aid both his own life and his continuity of work serving those at the edges and inner domains of community.

Rory's work has garnered Annenberg, Frederick Weisman, Green and other grants and earned Rory the Eli Lilly WBA "Person of the Decade Award" in 2008 for his work in the tenderloin of Skid Row. His project is further documented in the Motion Pictures:

"Humble Beauty: Skid Row Artists" (Schwartz & Vogelsang 2008 & 2013) and

"Passing Through" (Dektor Films 2018).  Both are viewable on Amazon Prime.

Rory's project's website: www.artworkscontinuum.org 
Rory's paintings:  www.artworkscontinuum.org/gallery-13  and his 
photo series: "Skid Row Mon Amour" https://www.artworkscontinuum.org/gallery-19

Yet, Rory has done all this while living with his own diagnosis of Bipolar Depression, and PTSD. Now, Rory needs further treatment for the continued onslaught of these diagnoses and at his threatened, though still highly productive, age of 71 years.

The specific treatment is based on the heavily researched and now FDA approved esketamine family of antidepressants, which is administered clinically, though on outpatient basis. The 5 week course of medication costs $3300.

As many of you know I, Dr. Geoffry White Ph.D., Rory's brother, am a clinical psychologist and humanitarian activist and will be personally handling the funds and fundraiser.

All donations, small or great, will be of utmost, and so very appreciated, impact.
