On January 2nd, our friend Lauren was part of a horrific attack in lower Manhattan that you may have heard about from the local New York City news.  I won't get into the particulars, if you would like to know more about the event please read the article below, instead I would prefer to focus on how we can help Lauren recover.

Lauren has undergone significant head trauma which has taken a physical and emotional toll. At the time of writing this she is in the ICU and could remain there for the rest of the week. The recovery from this incident will involve aftercare and put Lauren in a situation where she will be unable to work for a little while.

The first time I met Lauren was after a show that she performed in. Right away I knew she was a supreme talent. What I did not know was the depth of her kindness and empathy for others. She cares about people deeply and now she needs our help. I know Covid has stretched things thin for some folks so please donate whatever you can to our friend and help us by sharing this page. Thank you so much for your time.
