My name is Cheryl, and I am a Black, queer disabled artist working hard to contribute to my household through my jewelry making. My wife is retired so we are on a fixed income. That income puts us above the limit for assistance so we struggle with monthly bills especially with the added cost of health insurance premiums, copays deductibles, emergency vet and pet meds.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering my monthly bills, as well as the ongoing expenses for medications and medical appointments.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help me access the care I need to stay healthy and continue creating art to sell. Your support would mean the world to me and would make a real difference in my life during this challenging time.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer.
