On September 11, 2010 there will be a benefit held for Katy Hayes, a mother from Kingwood, Texas who contracted Strep A after the birth of her child. This infection led to the amputation of her arms and legs above the middle joint. To ease the burden of her and her family a fund raiser is being held at the Hilton Houston North, Houston, Texas.
R’Lene Winters is collecting paintings or other artwork from anyone who would like to donate to the silent auction. It’s a great way to give back through your art and it also gives you visibility as an artist. R’Lene needs to have the paintings to her no later than August 10th. If you are interested in donating please contact R’Lene ( rewin54 @ msn.com ) or call 972-874-3919
