“Arachnoiditis Survivor: A Portrait of
Resilience against Patient Harm in America is moving forward!
Over the next few weeks, I will be scheduling
interviews and photo sessions with Survivor Volunteers. I am truly looking
forward to meeting some of the other survivors, sharing the healing power of
art, discussing experiences and ideas about adaptability & reasonable
accommodations, and creating an empowered, connected healing community as we
increase arachnoiditis awareness and work together to prevent future adverse outcomes.
I am excited to explore the creative challenges of building authentic,
meaningful, conceptual portraits for this diverse culture of survivors.” ~slk
As a reward for reaching our minimum goal,
AIM|Hatchfund has granted an EXTRA 30 days to accept any additional donations.
These funds will be distributed on a weekly basis to this Art For Arachnoiditis
project. Please let anyone who intended
to donate know they still have time to make a tax-deductible contribution.
You might remember from the project launch (plan A) that
the average cost to travel to each Survivor Volunteer (excluding food) is
$565.45. Every additional
contribution helps expand the reach of the project & the awareness message
by providing supplemental funding for:
Empowering face-to-face interviews with
survivors, creating the documentary photo series with fellow Survivors,
publicity & expansion of the public art
exhibition of the project images
All
donations from this point on are guaranteed to be applied to the Arachnoiditis
Survivor project.
Any questions about the AIM|Hatchfund
organization can be directed to:

Arachnoiditis Survivors are asked to complete this anonymous survey and return it to the studio by August 15, 2014
Now accepting input from Survivors who are ready to tell their arachnoiditis story.
“Although it is a shame that there are so
many people in need of this resource, it is exciting and validating to know
that many Arachnoiditis Survivors have faith in the empowering benefits of this
art project. We are determined to show the faces affected by this hidden adverse outcome.” ~slk
