Join Us in Supporting Erica Swinson's Recovery

Hello everyone, my name is Peyton and I’m starting this GoFundMe to help not only my colleague but a very close friend of mine.

Erica Swinson, a talented tattoo artist at 802 Ink and a beloved figure in our Vermont community, is currently hospitalized due to extremely low kidney function. This sudden and serious health issue has left her unable to work, and as the sole breadwinner for her family, Erica now faces financial challenges that no one should have to bear alone.

For years, Erica has been more than a friend, colleague, or artist. She’s been a guiding light and a mom to so many of us—a source of strength, love, and kindness. Her presence at 802 Ink, and throughout her life in Vermont, has touched countless people. She’s given so much to those she loves, always offering a shoulder to lean on and a heart open to anyone in need.

Now, Erica and her family need our help. Contributions will go towards not only covering her medical expenses but also helping with the essential costs of living while she focuses on healing. This is our opportunity to return the support and love she’s shown us over the years.

Please join us in supporting Erica. Let’s come together as her extended family to help her through this difficult time, just as she’s always been there for us. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings her one step closer to recovery and helps secure the well-being of the family she holds dear.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and support.
