Dear Crafters, Artists, Promotors and Patrons,
I’m reaching out to you with hopes you will help our fellow crafter and friend Robin Campanale. Many of you know Robin and her husband Rich, of Rusty Old Man. They have been a welcome fixture in the Northeast Art and Craft scene. Robin always smiling, sassy, and just the person you would want in your life boat.
Our courageous and strong Robin is fighting Metastatic Breast Cancer. This might come as a shock to many of you as Robin and Rich are very private, and only after my relentless nagging for over six months they finally agreed to let me set up a Go Fund Me for her.
You see, Robin and Rich have been hit with a double cruel blow, loss of show income due to Covid. The bottom line is out of pocket medical bills are mounting to a breaking point. My hope is that we can all donate to ease some of the day to day worry that they are experiencing.
One of the best things about going to the shows is the friendships that are made. Crafter to crafter, crafter to promotor, crafter and customer. We are a community. Sharing the same love of handmade and creativity. One of our own needs us. Please consider making a donation today. I can’t think of anyone who needs it more right now. Those who know Robin, know she would do anything for anybody to help them. Let’s be there for her today.
After you donate please share this on your social media. 100% of the money collected will go to Robin Campanale to be used for daily expenses from loss of income due to cancellation of shows and out of pocket medical expenses.
Now we do what we do best: we rally. We support our fellow crafter. We pull her into our lifeboat.
Thank you in advance for your love and support.
Selena Braunstein xoxo
