What Would You Do..

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 7, 2008, 7:47 AM



If you couldn't communicate?


That's right - You wake up one morning and you can't speak, you can't move your arms, all that's working is your eyes.. what do you do?

For most of us,I believe this would be a nightmare. Just the inability to log on to deviantART causes me to go into tiny withdrawal modes, so the concept of no communication at all.. is mind numbing.

Communication is key to connection. Without it we feel isolation and excluded from the rest of humanity. The ability to share your feelings and thoughts is priceless and to live without that.. unimaginable.

Except if you are ~GloryAngel - because if you were Sara, this would be your life.

A year ago, Sara was in a terrible car accident and she seemed to come out of it unscathed but while in the hospital being treated, she suffered a stroke.

This stroke made it impossible for Sara to move anything but her eyes and while she now has a machine to help her "speak" using the movement of her eyes it isn't enough to break the isolation.


Sara was an artist, she was one of ours. She was an active member of this community I've been praising and we have the ability to give her a piece of her life back. If we can come together and raise $2500, we can help her family purchase equipment that will allow her to access the web, and even allow her to make art again.

Every year you all come together for my breast cancer walk and I've watched you reach out to others in need before and for that I applaud you. If you can do it one more time, we can literally bring art back to an artist. What greater gift is there?
