Do you Love Art? Help this Disabled Artist Keep Off Her Feet (Doctor's Orders)

Description

A young senior is a talented artist living in Columbia City. She hopes for help because she lives with a huge amount of chronic pain in her feet, and is not supposed to be on her feet at all while she awaits surgery. As a result, it fills her with dread to have to walk from one end of her apartment to the other, just to sweep the floor or wipe the counters. She desperately needs help with housework that requires her to be on her feet, such as dishes, cleaning the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. This creative woman feels overwhelmed and alone?an hour or two a week of visits and a phone call to check in occasionally would be an amazing help to her.
