Important Donation Help Required
"I am an erotic and fetish artist, devoted to the ongoing creation and expression of my ideas, but I am sure you know that much about me already. What you may not realize is that, like everyone else, I have a real life, one that I am seeking help with, in order to survive and have put off reaching out for help for a while now, but cannot do that any longer. My hope is that someone out there will respond and help if they can. A few years ago I had a child who was born with a very rare chromosome disorder. It was not hereditary, but rather a horrible fluke, like I hit the world's worst lottery. I believe that only approximately 30 children are born every year in the USA with this same condition, most of which will go undiagnosed and untreated.
When I began focusing my art solely on Eroticism and Fetishism, I was young, emotionally strong and I thought I was invincible. I was free to think and create and had very little serious responsibility surrounding me. When my only child was born, born with a terrible affliction that prevented her from speaking, eating and walking, and I was informed, with a predisposition to cancers when she gets older, I grew up in a hurry. This is my reality now, worrying about her, and trying to afford all the therapies, medicines and treatments she requires (ongoing). As you may have guessed, artist's incomes were never designed to care and support a child with a rare medical condition, one that there is no known cure for (unless you are Andy Warhol or Robert Longo). That is why I am reluctantly setting up this page, and requesting donations from those of you who may be in a position financially to help. It is also taxing on my creativity, and therefore my ability to continue creating my art at a steady production rate, as I am always plagued with worry.
There are several ways you may help. If you are in a position where you can afford to help me with a donation of any size, then I would appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. If you would like to learn more about the specific nature of my child's medical condition, click here for a link to a website. If you feel uncomfortable giving me a direct donation, then by all means, please help fund research for Chromosome 18, so that one day there may be a cure or proper treatment for it, by adding the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Program to your own Charity list. I would also welcome fund raising ideas for my child's plight, as well as for the plight of all children stricken with this debilitating medical condition. One good thing about me posting this page I suppose, is that it brings light to chromosome 18 abnormality. If you would like to speak with me on any of these issues for clarity or other, please send me an e-mail. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, The Spirit."
The following are one time donation buttons. If you have any concerns, or would rather directly send me a check, please let me know. If you are unsure today about making a donation, please research my requests, and keep me in mind for the future.
