I'm a good friend of Carolyn Doyle.  Carolyn just had a bit of a life curve ball thrown at her. In addition to the usual challenges she faces (currently transitioning her son with low functioning autism to an adult group home and a new recreation program) and the typical challenges of raising a teenager daughter in an incredibly expensive city, she has to have some surgery. And Right Now, unfortunately.  Not life-threatening, but pretty major with a six-week to eight-week recovery period. And, because the world is the way it is, her job won't be held for her (insurance coverage ending on 5/31/19).  She will get some disability, but the partial payment will only be enough to cover basic household expenses. And like many of us, Carolyn lives paycheck to paycheck and doesn't have any savings in the bank. Non-profits, you know? Whatever you can give will go a long way. What are we if we don’t help each other, as artists?
