Help Stuart Cripwell recover from health issues!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Matt Howse, and I started this GoFundMe to help someone who is family; a guy in tattooing who has had such a massive impact in the world of traditional tattooing for the past 18 years, Stuart Cripwell. Anyone who's ever known Stu, been tattooed by him, bought his flash, or just been in his presence.. knows that Stu is about the humblest, most generous and kindhearted person you could meet. He has dealt with type 1 diabetes since childhood, and over the years it's taken it's toll. He had eye surgery yesterday to repair damage from a torn retina, and hasn't been able to tattoo in 2 months now. He faces more surgery and a long recovery, and will likely not be able to work enough to pay the bills for awhile. In tattooing, we ARE a community, and taking care of each other when things are rough is something we've always done, and will continue to do so. I've known Stu for 16+ years, and we worked together at Spider Murphy's for almost 8 years, he's an amazing dad, partner, friend - an influence to SO MANY.. and someone who needs our help right now. He'd never ask on his own, but we can hopefully get some financial relief so he can heal his body. Also if you'd like to donate to him directly, and have his contact info, that would be awesome as well. Please rebroadcast this, every bit helps!
