Empower Linda P Santiago's Artistic Dreams

Hi my name is Linda P Santiago a Milwaukee artist. Through the last 3years of my life I had 3 attempts, second attempt led me to ending up intubated, resuscitated and full coded. That was in 2023, my third attempt I jumped from a building and ended up with multiples fractures, knee, spine and pelvis, i was at Froedtert but at that point of my life which was in march I couldn’t move, I was in so much pain, and not in a good state of mind. In April I went to rehabilitation and I was more independent with transfers. I got out of there in May. But at that point I was just back and forth from place to place, they found me a place to live but because I was not independent enough they got me out the next day. I went again at Froedtert I never received since march. The help mentally it was always online and not intensive therapy. I used to lived at the third floor so I moved from there. Not until almost end of June that’s when admitted myself in a mental hospital because never got the chance to work on my mental health since march.

I got so much help there and was there for 2 months till they found me a place to live. I moved from the mental hospital to a group home where is assisted living.

Today I would like to get help for my bill for electricity that I haven’t pay, and to publish my books that I have created. My goal is to share my creativity with all of you. I also want to donate books to places and people but I need some financial help.

I am also planning to return to MIAD next year for fine arts and I would like to share my story so people know they are not alone. And reach out for help.

my money will also contribute to my education getting supplies that I may need. Now I’m still in wheelchair but I’m returning to get Physical therapy again, to gain more mobility.

every counts thank you for listening to my story, remember to always ask for help.

This picture shows some of my work.

THANK YOU!
