Today's Highlighted Need: CAREGIVER COULD USE SOME CARE HERSELF
MICHELEWIN is a stalwart member of our little Street Prophet family, and a fierce advocate for Democratic and progressive causes. She is a very long-time DKOS member. She is also a multi-facetted artist, working in acrylics, computer-generated art, photography, jewelry, and fabric crafts. But her primary role for a number of years has been caregiver. And now she herself needs some help.

Many folks here have been following Michele’s journey. A senior herself, she is the full-time caregiver for her brother Reid who is a wheelchair-bound amputee and brittle diabetic. Michele is the chief cook, bottlewasher, and homemaker. Good thing Michel is a both frugal shopper and a great cook. She enjoys adapting and creating recipes from many cultures.
Right now, Michele could use both emotional and financial help from the community here. She and Reid’s combined household can manage (just) their daily expenses. However, they have both had recent hospitalizations and the medical bills continue to mount up. With her recent foot surgery for arthritis, Michele is facing over $6000 in hospital bills with more anticipated.
For the next few weeks, michelwln’s recovery has made it hard for her to be online much. But she would love to meet some of these bills by selling her artwork and jewelry. She's in the KosKatalogue and you can Kosmail her for links to available images, necklaces, and prices. You can also check out her artwork by going to her DKOS page and looking at her past Street Prophet diaries where she has posted a lot of her work.
Can you help? Michele has been in a lot of pain, and naturally is feeling worried and depressed. Even a small donation would help her know how much this community appreciates her. Kind words of support are also greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.
