For those who don’t know me, my name is Agy Wilson. I’ve been an artist with bennies for all my life. Working odd jobs to support myself, one of the reasons i look like a know-it-all. Through some of my doofus choices, as well as allowing unscrupulous people, I’ve had to replace everything a number of times in my life. This last time was the hardest-bad divorce, hit by a truck, fire and then COVId(all within a year and a half.

Retired now with SSI under $500, I’ve worked for the last few years at a lovely little mom and pop store, which is a decent fit and good people. But no extra to save,and with careful planning, I’ve been able build the art materials from the last disaster. The struggle has been finding time and effort to create my commissions and learn the new tech and materials. Not enough left over to complete, publish, market my books.

And now cancer has waltzed into my life. The rare form, in my breast (my mother died from breast cancer around my age). With my immune system running wild, congestive heart failure and diabetes, it’s not going to be an easy jaunt like most of my other times.

I know there are so many that demands our attention. The idea of going through all that my attempted cure, balancing a job that though rewarding, is also a drain from my creative self, stress levels.

Your funding will help me to focus on what I find important. My family, my projects (I have a bunch of books living inside-I’d love to be able share a few of them. Creating images for online shops that I’ve never really set up or marketed well. As well as making it to and from the myriad appts, and medication involved in the search for more years on this earth. If you are able to give I deeply appreciate you, and your gift. Thank you, at the least, for your time. Your support and care means the world.
