When Christa jumped from the second story porch of her burning house, she saved her own life, but she also fractured her lumbar spine. Three weeks later, she is trying to pick up the pieces (after subsequently breaking her nose and lacerating her eye lid!). Her life’s possessions—clothes, books, documents, her mother’s wedding dress— were all lost in the fire.
For the next three months, she must wear a brace that will protect her healing back, will be unable to make a living as an artist, and will be living in temporary housing. Christa is grateful to be alive, but she needs financial help to cover living costs and rehabilitation.
There are two ways to help out:
1. Simply make a donation in the amount of your choice.
2. You can make a donation of $25 or more and enter yourself into a raffle to win art, generously donated from artists within the ceramics community.
$25=one raffle ticket, $50=two raffle tickets, etc…
You can view the donated pieces in the gallery section.
At the time that you donate, specify the name of the artist whose piece you would like
Names of winners will be drawn at the end of the campaign
If your name is drawn, the piece will be shipped to you free of charge by the artist
Every donation, no matter the size counts and is greatly appreciated! Please share and help spread the word. – See more at: http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/help-christa-assad-get-muddy-again-/143960#sthash.VGNLve6o.dpuf
Below is my contribution to the raffle to raise funds. There’s some pretty amazing pieces up for grabs by some great artists. Make sure to check it out and support it if you can.
