Maria Forland, friend and multi talented woman

Hi, This is Karen Lilly, a friend of Maria Forland. We all know Maria as a Reiki Master, A spiritualist, A fine arts oil painter, and a spirit artist and educator. We also know Maria as a well-known and respected Esthetician with a studio in Barnstable Village adjacent to the restaurant known as the Barnstable Tavern.

Last week there was a kitchen fire in the restaurant and a torrent of water by the fire department was necessary to quell the fire. The water damaged all of Maria's equipment and her space is uninhabitable. No, she did not have insurance, only liability to protect us, her friends, and clients.

She has found a small space to rent on 6A in YarmouthPort, but she needs money to secure the space with 3 months' rent and to purchase all new equipment. We know how specialized her equipment can be.

As her friend, I want to help her re-establish her business and her courage to continue through this difficult rebuilding. I know as her friends, you will want to join me in this. We all love and support Maria on the journey.
