Help Catherine Lemoine pay expenses due to cancer

Hi - My name is De Ivett, and I am raising money on behalf of my Mom, Catherine Lemoine, to help pay her medical bills as she battles Breast Cancer.

My Mom is an artist who has painted oceanscapes, flowers, landscapes, and her whimsical chickens for almost 2 decades. She has been honored at the Paso Robles Mid-state Fair year after year with first, second, and third-place ribbons, often several at a time! Before the pandemic, she could be found at the Avila Beach boardwalk selling her art to locals and tourists alike. She has built quite a following over the years as she shares her passion for painting by teaching classes to aspiring students of all ages.

As you may have already learned, Catherine was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2021. She was teaching her painting class at Mission Hope Center supporting the mental health of families fighting cancer when she discovered her own cancer and had to put her teachings on hold.

She fought the good fight and came out as a survivor. We were all so relieved!

But sadly not even a year after her ‘all clear’ recovery, she found out that her Breast Cancer had metastasized and spread to her lungs, liver, and bones leaving her tired and unable to work.

Without the ability to sell her artwork down at Avila, or teach her classes, Catherine's income has dwindled while her medical bills have been growing. She needs a little support to get through this tough time.

Because Catherine would like her supporters to get something in return for kind donations - we will be running an online auction starting April 1st as an alternative means of donating by bidding on her artwork @ https://catherinesartandsoul.com/auctions/

Supporters who win the highest bid for Catherine's art will be asked to pay for the art by donating the final bid amount to this campaign. Artwork will be packaged and shipped (or delivered) in the weeks to follow.

Thank you in advance for supporting this cause.
