Music for Renee:My aunt needs help
Filed Under: creativity
Hi all. This is another post in which I ask for money, but not on behalf of myself. If such posts bother you, please go on about your business. I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not I should post this, asking you all to help a complete stranger. But ultimately, I decided that it would be letting down my family if I didn’t say something about it. So here goes.
I’m asking on behalf of a family member, my Aunt Renee, who recently lost a leg due complications from diabetes. She and her husband both live very much on a fixed income , and are now facing very difficult expenses not for the hospitalization, but for the equipment and home adaptation costs so that she can do very simple things like make it from her car to her front door. The family has approached many organizations for aid with the costs, but none have any funding due to the economy.
I’ve helped my family set up a website to sell $1.99 downloads of a song my mother wrote and recorded along with muscians around the world. The site also has a donation button you can use if you’d rather just give a couple of bucks and aren’t interested in the music. We’re not asking for hand-outs. But whether or not you listen to the song is up to you I guess. We’re trying to offer something in return.
Anyway. I appreciate, and the family appreciates, any help you can provide. You’ll have my gratitude especially.
