At the end of July 2019, I had a ruptured colon and had to have emergency surgery. Three days after surgery, I suffered an aneurysm/hemorrhagic stroke.  It's truly a miracle that I'm even alive. After multiple surgeries, I spent over 6 months in a 24-hour nursing facility. In February I moved out of the facility and into an apartment. I was hoping to start my art career again and pick up where I'd left off months earlier. I applied to the Beverly Hills Art Show and was accepted! YAY!!!  But wait, Covid19 arrived and everything was canceled, the art show and basically all of life as we knew it. Now, I'm attempting to pick up all of the pieces and find a way to support myself. I'm not 100% and I'm struggling, physically and emotionally. I need help. I'm asking for art purchases, purchases of gift certificates or donations. I've come too far to give up.
