Dear Prospect Heights Artists and Neighbors,

As the holidays approach, we're reaching out to you with an urgent request to help one of our own. Florencia, a talented, classically trained painter from Argentina, is facing an incredibly difficult situation.

She moved to NYC a year ago to pursue her dream of attending an art program here, leaving behind her support system and working tirelessly to make ends meet.

Florencia has found herself in a dire financial situation. Despite having had her first solo show on the LES, and working nights after classes, she's struggling to afford basic necessities, pay tuition on her dream program, and see a neurologist for serious stress-induced medical issues.

We can't let Florencia give up on her dream! Any amount you can contribute will make a real difference in her life and help her continue her studies and focus on her health. Please consider donating to her GoFundMe campaign and sharing it with your networks, or purchasing one of her works online here (https://www.artsy.net/artist/florencia-de-giovanni-pacini)

Thank you for your generosity and support!
