Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts for TLC, the Trichotillomania Learning Center.

Trichotillomania is actually no kind of mania at all. It’s just the irresistible urge to pull out one’s own hair or, in my case, eyebrows and eyelashes. And, in my case, it’s connected with nailbiting and cuticle picking too.

The Trichotillomania Learning Center (TLC), is the only organization dedicated to research and treatment of compulsive hair pulling and skin picking. There’s a wealth of information, resources, and concern there. And for the next two months, they’re sponsoring the Hands-Down-a-Thon, in which I’m participating and for which I’d like your support.

My commitment for the next two months is to wear gloves whenever I'm reading and writing at home and to play with putty when I'm reading and writing in public. These practices will impede me from using my precious finger energy to harm myself.

At the same time, I commit to publishing photos of my completed Samantabhadra thangka at the end of October. My finger energy will be channeled toward the creation of beauty and the inspiration of others. Including you!

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! And to anyone you know who struggles to keep their hands still.

Check my blog now and then for photo updates of my funny gloves and "silly" putty.

 

with love and gratitude,
