Hi everyone..
I wanted to talk here about a fundraising campaign in the name of dear Silke Tapken.
Silke has always been a great supporter of my work... And now, I would like my work to help her...
'In March 2020 Silke contracted COVID and she never recovered, developing long COVID which has progressed to its most severe form, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This means that she now spends most of her days in bed or in a wheelchair being cared for by her family.
Before falling ill Silke was a midwife working in a birthing center in her home town of Oldenburg while also providing in-home birthing care there and to the surrounding districts of Ammerland and Wesermarsch. In a typical year she would drive thousands of kilometers delivering care to her mothers and the over 700 infants she and her team helped deliver before she was forced to retire because of her disease.
Since early retirement she has relied on her son, daughter, and Uwe to provide the daily, intimate care she requires. Recently, in order to find more affordable housing for her growing family, Silke’s daughter was forced to start looking for a new home and will move from Oldenburg very soon. Then, a month ago, her husband Uwe, who she’s known since they were young adults working in fish farming together in Germany and then Burkina Faso, Africa, was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND), a family of diseases that includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This disease means he will become wheelchair bound perhaps in months.
Silke and Uwe need to upgrade their small home to make it wheelchair accessible, including retrofitting the bathroom, installing a chair lift, and building a ramp into the house. Their son is going to help with some of the construction, but with costs totaling about €30,000, she needs our help.'
I am offering these APs (different sets from Perna Studios) for my production. Just tell me which character I should draw.
All money raised will go towards the campaign.
If interested and for information about the cards, send me a DM (@andre.toma) or email (ninetoma@gmail.com).
Thank you very much.
