I'm raising money to save my 100+ year old home from foreclosure. It really started a few years back on April 27th, 2011. Our house sustained hail and straight-wind damage that brok...I've known JaNell for years. She's a reader and an artist, a maker of quips and jests, vivid, witty designs and bold color. I'd wondered why I hadn't been seeing her usual quips online - and then I got this, and I understood.
The most harrowing part of this story to me - buried deep in her request for help to keep her house - is what's happened to her eyes:
“After the surgery...straight lines are twisted and curved; many sections of the color spectrum are just gone; everything is washed out and seen in tunnel vision.
It took me about six months to train my eyes to track together enough to read - my favorite pastime, formerly. And my design work - the way I paid my bills - it took even longer to relearn how to do that. I can only work a few hours a day while using a large tv as a monitor and it's not an issue that glasses can fix. It is as good as it's going to be."If you're warm and safe right now, maybe you can throw just $10 toward this brave woman's fight to stay in the game.
Or just go straight to her art on Etsy (jewelry! fused glass!) and Spoonflower (coffee cups! skulls! carrots! bowling!) to do some holiday shopping where it will do the most good.
Thanks.
