Help artist Pete Smith heal from a stroke & huge debt.

Im an 80yo artist-sculptor. The unfortunate circumstances following a stroke I had three months ago; where further, my 10 year long routine struggle to survive off of my most original sculptures [while touring the eastern states] has normally worked to my advantage. Yet through enigma and bad personal economics, since the stroke particularly, has dramatically turned south, leaving me in severe [fast mounting] debt, both with medical and business [includg taxes and unpaid rent [nearing $6000]! More irony a $9000. valued vehicle has acquired an equally mysterious malady, holed up in a nearby auto repair shop [going on 7 months and climbing, w/out yet full repair - in need of special parts only availed from a dealer [at $5000.] The mechanic-shop owner has been trying to search for the [rare] chance up online used/refurbished parts yet without success!

In summary; I'm further offering a return-gift of a significant art-work - picks to be chosen from my Instagram account of many pieces - out of a most sincere gratitude... [Details, of course, to be established at individual stages; firmly assuring my gratitude will reach to the top of my appraised works and most valuable [according to gallery confirmation!)

More to my memoir; my ongoing nightmarish, somewhat haunting, exceptionally studied and researched ['unprofessional' writings] to include a clinically diagnosed status at various stages, over the last 18 years, further suggests I'm deep in coping with this illness until death; underscored by manic depression.

I have a wife with her [only] daughter - both of whom I adore - and the stress as of late has become notably challenging...

I truly appreciate any attention you've given to this sorely [pathetic] embarrassing story.

Sincerely,

Pete Smith
