Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’ve had two knee surgeries within four months, which has put me roughly twenty weeks behind schedule. Weight-bearing has been limited, and recovery is necessarily slow — realistically another few months before I’m fully mobile again.

Alongside this, I manage rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ongoing neurological testing related to epilepsy. These aren’t new challenges, but combined with back-to-back surgeries, they’ve significantly delayed my ability to work and create.

As a full-time artist, there’s no sick leave or safety net. When I can’t work, I can’t generate income. Right now, I’m focused on healing while trying to cover basic living expenses and medical costs during this extended recovery window.

If you’re able to donate, share, or pass this along, it would mean a great deal. Every bit of support helps bridge this gap.

With gratitude,

Christopher
