Save my EYES- Cindy Gunn needs HELP

Donation protected
Cindy Gunn is a Local artist who has been showing work in the Truckee Meadows and surrounding areas since 1975.  She has been a public artist for the state of Nevada and she taught art in high school and middle schools for ten years.  She is active in the arts community here and was a Burning Man artist for 13 years.  Twenty years ago Cindy was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration.  It was in a benign condition called the "dry" stage but has recently begun to bleed.  This leads to scarring which deprives her of her sight.  This is NOT something that stops on its own.  Treating it requires four shots of Lucentis.  She had one sample shot before she was told that Medicaid will NOT cover it and the shots are $2000. EACH.  If she does not get this, her vision will be permanently compsomised and her other eye is also at risk, but has fortunately not begun to bleed.  Please help her save her sight.  Her art is her life and her sustenance.  lets make sur she keeps making it.
