<div>Dear friends and supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With both gratitude and humility, I write to ask for your support in my efforts to <strong>recover from surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering last month, after a very difficult year of prolonged illness.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of you are already aware of the long ride I've been on with my health, but for others this may come as a surprise. As I recently said to my therapist (officially the most NYC way to begin a sentence!),<em> it's so hard to ask for money for myself,</em> despite doing it often for the org's I love, because (a) It's hard to accept that we live in a "developed nation" where people have to beg friends &amp; strangers to help them stay alive; and (b) <em>We live in a society (second most NYC way to begin a sentence!) where an artist's perceived success is hitched to their perceived net worth. </em><strong>I'm here to confess that I'm broke and I need your help.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just over a year ago my employer created a bogus excuse to lay me off, just as I was getting very sick. I did manage to stretch a little less than 3 months' pay out over a year, thanks to a Rauschenberg Foundation Medical Emergency Grant, but my health continued to spiral.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, after months of unproductive tests, the ER at NYU Langone *incidentally* (accidentally, while looking for something else--which is how most ovarian cancer is detected!) found that I had<strong> a large tumor on my right ovary and a second lesion on my spleen.</strong> I jumped ship to Memorial Sloan Kettering in hopes of getting more focused, cancer-specific care, and<strong> I had a big surgery last month, from which I'm still recovering.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some friends and neighbors reading this have already been so generous in sending or making food, doing my laundry, and walking Browser, and<em> I will forever be grateful </em>for both the help and the deeper ways that these gifts have touched me. <strong>But now I am really fighting to keep going.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not surprisingly, <strong>Medicaid won't cover</strong> the secondary (/tertiary) medications and treatments that I need, my bank account is a <strong>couple thousand dollars overdrawn, </strong>my <strong>art storage</strong> unit contents <strong>will be auctioned</strong> in a couple weeks, HRA's process of applying for benefits has been very <em>protracted and inaccessible </em>(though I persist), and <strong>every bill I have</strong> from utilities to my domain name(s) are <strong>overdue and minutes from termination.</strong> I told you this was <em>humbling</em>. :(
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They say that the <em>average cancer fundraiser asks for $20k and receives only $3k</em>. <strong>Let's please try to beat those odds.</strong> By this time next year, I want to be alive and kicking, but it's not an exaggeration to say that <strong>I desperately need your help.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Thanks so much for reading &amp; sharing, in any way you can.</em>
</div>
<div><em>Truly, any amount helps.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>~ mo
