Please Support our Dear Friend Valerie After The Sudden Loss Of Her Beloved Partner Barbara.

Our Valarie has been an essential & supportive member of the of Ethnic and Tribal Arts community for decades. Many of us have benefited from her kindness, generosity and knowledge. 

She is dearly loved by her friends who have created this fundraiser to help her

get back on her feet.

Valarie and Barbara devotedly shared their lives together for over 40 years. 

Barbara was Valarie’s main support in many areas of her life.

On Saturday, December 6th, Valarie suddenly lost Barbara to a severe & fatal stroke. 

She is in shock, devastated and lost without her life partner.

In addition to the crippling personal loss, she will also be facing significant financial loss.

We, her friends, are asking your help as she regains her balance and embraces a new path. 

We know this kind & generous community will come together to support Valarie in her time of need. 

She has to find a safe & peaceful rental for herself and her Border Collie Yenni.

We are looking for reasonably priced rentals close to town.

These are daunting circumstances to navigate alone. We hope you will join us in helping Valarie in any way you can
