A very good friend of mine received emergency funding from CERF+ several years ago when a neighbor’s booth set up at a craft show has collapsed and damaged many of his art works. In spring 2016, I slipped and fell off a ladder, and fractured my wrist bones. I had a cast on for about 4 months and I was not able to blow glass and make work for about 6 months. Although I worked on jobs where I did not have to do the blowing myself, assistance from CERF+ helped me very much in getting through this tough time.
