<div>Support Our Friend Suzy Poling Through Cancer Treatment
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are writing to you as friends, collaborators, and longtime admirers of Suzy Poling (Pod Blotz). Many of you know Suzy as a brilliant, fearless artist, curator, and community member whose work moves across sound, performance, photography, printmaking, and installation. They have created worlds that challenge perception, invite reflection, and remind us of the deep power of imagination to create change and connect to the beyond. They are a radiant presence in our communities, always offering their time, care, mentorship, support, and creativity to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Suzy needs community support in this moment. She has recently been diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, an aggressive blood cancer with a 50% five-year survival rate. Her prognosis looks optimistic yet rigorous as she needs to undergo six chemotherapy treatments to address its presence in their blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and to treat a large tumor. Her Oncologist said that they would treat the Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma as if it were Stage 4 Cancer due to how fast it moves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As an independent artist, Suzy relies on freelance photography and creating art to support herself, and she cannot work at her usual capacity during the 4-month initial treatment period and potential year-long recovery. Suzy already deals with an ongoing severe spinal condition that is challenging to maintain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, she could use the extra assistance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe in Suzy not only as an artist but as a person whose work and life carry a rare vision and integrity. She has poured their energy into building something meaningful for all of us, and now it’s our turn to pour back into them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised here will directly support:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Living expenses while they are unable to work
</li>
<li>Recurring supportive therapies (acupuncture, cryotherapy, high supply of minerals and supplements) that bring comfort and strength during recovery
</li>
<li>Assistive devices (compression devices to help with neuropathy, more permanent supplies) while going through intensive chemotherapy and radiation
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Impact of Giving</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve all seen firsthand how Suzy has shown up for their community, friends and collaborators with unwavering generosity. We’ve witnessed their devotion to art as a vehicle for transformation and connection. They deserve the same devotion from us now to recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter the size, will help lift the heavy weight of financial stress so she can focus on what truly matters: healing, continuing their extraordinary work, and being such a beautiful light in our community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ways You Can Support
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate—even the smallest contribution is meaningful.
</li>
<li>Share this campaign with your networks, near and far.
</li>
<li>Send Suzy love and encouragement—your energy, thoughts and support give her strength every day. Suzy will make a Patreon page with prints to order as another way to support her during this challenging time.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Suzy has given us so much through her vision and spirit. This is our chance to stand with her. We believe that with collective care and generosity, she will make it through this moment and return to creating the powerful work that only she can bring into the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chloe Alexandra Thompson, Nicky Mao (Hiro Kone), Samantha Gibble (Sync Sapro)
