Support Cindy Calderon's Creative Arts Space

**Title: Help me secure a Dedicated Space to Uplift and Educate Through Creative Arts, Literacy and Poetry**

Hello,

My name is Cindy Calderon, and I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request. I am a middle-aged woman of color, a proud mother of four, including one special needs child, and a grandmother of over ten wonderful grandchildren. I currently work with the NYPD in a clerical capacity, but I have always had a dream that goes beyond my day-to-day job.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to run my own program in a professional setting. My vision is to create a space dedicated to uplifting, encouraging, and educating those with special needs and those who support them. My goal is to revolutionize modern storytelling through poems, reaching people of all cultures, backgrounds, genders, and ages.

While I have been working diligently from my living room, it has become clear that I need a dedicated office space to truly bring my vision to life. The cost of securing a proper office is $400 per month, and I am seeking $10,000 to cover this expense for the next two years, allowing me to focus fully on launching and growing my program.

Having a dedicated work space will not only enhance my ability to collaborate with others but also ensure a professional environment where I can continue working towards being a supportive network for like minded creators and strive to make a meaningful impact to those who seek to express themselves freely through writing. Your support will make it possible for me to move beyond the limitations of my current setup and achieve my dream of a professional space dedicated to transformative storytelling in the scope of interactive poetic workshops within the community of literary arts

Thank you for considering my request. Any contribution, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to making a difference through my program. Your support means the world to me and to those who will benefit from this initiative.

With gratitude,

Cindy Calderon
