Hi! My name is DeDe Shamel, and I am an Artist. 2 years ago, I had a Cervical Spinal Stenosis Surgery. 2 months later I had a Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Surgery. Both were laminectomies. The surgeon said it might take 2 years to heal and walk again. I have done 30 hours of Physical Therapy, and I swim at a good friend's pool as often as I can. I could walk and make enough money to make ends meet before the surgery.  I have since had a 3rd surgery.
       I still work, selling art and frames in my eBay store, but I can't carry and wrap the big items like I used to. Now, I have severe bilateral foramina stenosis in my neck and back, possibly caused by scar tissue from the first 2 surgeries. 
    I know that this is a rough time for everyone, so only donate if you are a million or billionaire.  Every dollar is greatly appreciated.
    I am hoping instead of donating to Political Parties, you could find it in your heart to help a struggling disabled artist.
 I am selling the copyrights to a book I illustrated, for $500,000. Buyer can keep all profits from sales. Please contact me for more information.

      Love, Peace, Many Thanks, and Blessings,
