<div>For over 25 years, this beloved community member has poured her heart into life-saving, world-changing work. Through community arts, outreach, harm reduction, and arts education, Sue has supported and uplifted countless people, especially houseless and street-involved youth. She is not only a prolific artist, but an incredibly kind and generous soul who has touched more lives than can be counted. Not to mention a dear dear friend of mine.

<div>Recently, a devastating fire in a neighboring apartment tore through her building. While she escaped with her life and managed to save her two cats, nearly everything she owned was lost  due to being severely damaged by smoke.

</div>
<div>After this sudden loss, luckily, she has managed to secure new temporary housing, but is now starting from almost nothing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help her rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support will go toward:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Basic furniture (bed, table, seating)
</li>
<li>Clothing and shoes
</li>
<li>Groceries and everyday essentials
</li>
<li>Toiletries and household items
</li>
<li>Art supplies so she can continue her creative and community work
</li>
<li>Miscellaneous costs and possible first &amp; last month expenses
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is someone who has spent decades showing up for others, offering care, creativity, and support where it’s needed most. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount helps. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help restore not just what was lost, but the stability and comfort everyone deserves.
</div>
