About Me

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this site and consider making a donation to help Pat & Steve with their medical bills.

This is being set up by their family members because we know that the road that lies ahead for them is going to be long and tough, and we are hoping to ease their burden in whatever way we can.

We are asking that anyone who would like to help, please consider making a donation to the PayPal Donation account that we have set up. You will see a link at the right side of this page. You have the option of donating by credit card or through your own PayPal account. PayPal is a secure and trusted website for doing business transactions and you will get notification of whatever you donate.

We will also be working on putting together some other fundraisers, so keep checking back here for updates on what we have going on.

Thanks!

Pat Morrissey Lewis is a local, world-renowned science fiction and fantasy artist. She and her husband Steve Lewis own Foxfire Studio in Dover, NH where Pat is a tattoo artist. They also sell hand made knives and jewelry and have an art gallery displaying many of Pat’s works. In February, Pat fell suddenly and unexpectedly ill. It was so serious that she ended up in a coma and was in Critical Care for 3 weeks. She was in the hospital for a total of 6 weeks, but is making a great recovery. The doctor’s are saying it’s a miracle she survived. She has a long road of physical therapy ahead of her and will likely be out of work for a bit more time. This means that Pat and Steve are not making any income and they have huge medical bills looming over their heads (they don’t have any health insurance), so we are trying to help them out however we can.

We truly appreciate your support!!

Quick update...

** 3/11/11 **

Just so you all know, Pat is doing really well.  PT and OT are going great.  She's making progress, even if it's just baby steps.  All the nurses and doctors are calling her a miracle because they didn't think she would make it through this!  So thank you to all who have been praying and sending your good vibes.  They certainly helped!  They say that once she is released from the hospital (in a week or 2 maybe?) she will go stay at a rehab facility for several weeks to continue getting back to herself.  She's been moving her arms around, sitting up (with some assistance), using utensils to eat, etc.

As far as donations go, in just a week, many of our friends and family have been so generous!  We are so pleased and appreciative.  Pat and Steve still don't know about it, but we are hoping to be able to give them the first installment soon and tell them the news.  Boy will they be surprised!  Thank you to all who have donated so far, and please feel free to let others know about this blog if they are wondering how things are going.
