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!!

Raffle tickets

Hello again. We now have the raffle tix in hand for the Benefit Concert on May 12. If you or anyone you know would like to purchase some beforehand (we are doing a 50/50 too!) - let us know!!  Prices - 1 ticket for $5, or 3 tickets for $10.

Also - I got an email from someone who found this blog while looking up "Pat Morrissey".  He was looking to get some Magic the Gathering cards autographed.  I have passed along this request to Pat to see what she thinks, but I'm thinking that could be a great fundraiser as well.  So, if you are here because you are a Magic fan and you have some cards illustrated by Pat Morrissey, feel free to contact me at patdonation@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do for you!  Also, tell your friends about this blog and feel free to post the link for others.  Curious which cards Pat illustrated?  See this link.  :)  Here are a couple examples:

 

I am also still trying to get people to "donate" their Twitter or Facebook statuses to spread the word.  Please consider putting up one of these messages so we can let more people know about our fundraising efforts ~

Twitter:  "HELP PAT @ . Donate ur Twitter msg 2day. Copy & paste this into ur feed. Let's show her our support! Thanks!"

Facebook:  "Pat Lewis needs our help - HELP PAT @ http://patdonation.blogspot.com/. Please read the blog, consider a donation, or at the very least, donate your status message today. **Copy & paste this status** onto your Wall. Let's show her our support! Thank you!"

Thanks, everybody!!  :)

Change in Bands...

Unfortunately, Vaast had to drop out of the benefit because one of the members will be traveling during that time, BUT we will now have The Wendigos instead!  They just won the Battle of the Bands at UNH and we are excited to have them join us on May 12th. 

We are still in the process of collecting donation items, so please contact us if you have something to donate for the raffle.  The poster is being designed as well, so stay tuned for that and help us distribute them, if you can.

Please also pass along the PayPal Donation link ~ Donations are still greatly appreciated to help Steve & Pat get back on their feet, financially.  Maybe "donate" your Twitter or Facebook status for a couple hours to promote this blog to your circle of friends and ask them to do the same.  If we can start a chain reaction, we could get lots more visibility in a short period of time. 

Thank you all for your help so far!  Your support has been wonderful!

Organization time...

Hello everyone ~

It's time to start getting everything organized for the Benefit Concert at The Coat.  We are trying to get all of our donated raffle items in hand as soon as possible.  If you or someone you know was planning on donating something, please contact us as soon as you can at patdonation@gmail.com or through the FB event or group page.  We need to collect the items and see exactly what we've got.

We will also be making a poster pretty soon and may need some help putting them up around the neighborhood.  :)  I'll be sure to put it up here on the blog so it can be printed if you'd like to assist.  We can use all the help we can get to spread the word.  This benefit is going to be such a good time!!

Thanks so much!  We really appreciate all the great donations!

PS - Update on bands ~  We finalized our three bands.  They will be WEC, Vaast and Jupiter 2.  Tell your friends!  :)~
