Starting from ashes. Will travel with a smile

I am Michelle, an artist, painter and dancer. Recipient of NEA Fellowship in Flamenco/African dance. Worked as an Artist in the Schools Program. Exhibited paintings, woodcuts . I am a space-energizer.

Having worked independently for the most part I have little income

to seek an affordable rental and am still in a motel room after fire .

I would like to replace a computer, printer, piano, art supplies, paints, brushes, canvas, linoleum for woodcuts, ink, etc.

My African drums for teaching burnt and all my flamenco clothes, shoes, castanets, shawls.

Immediately, I need help paying towards razing of trailer which costs more than my mind can wrap itself around. If trailer is not razed, the monthly rent for ashes continues.

Fire has devastated me, physically and I could not even save my ids , or wallet . Replacing all on foot, as bike burnt, has been first priority.

In short, any contribution towards rebuilding my life would add a little sunshine to my day.
