The Story: A long-time NYC art community member needs our help. A 38-year-old visual artist (MFA Yale) and painting professor, she recently suffered a traumatic fall resulting in a broken vertebra and a spinal cord injury.

She is currently in acute rehabilitation, regaining strength after losing sensation in her legs. To ensure a safe recovery, she urgently needs wheelchair-accessible housing upon her discharge.

The Needs: We are seeking a furnished 1 or 2-bedroom apartment for approximately 6 months. This artist is an extremely clean, responsible tenant who needs a quiet, private space to focus on her rehabilitation. She will have a caretaker staying with her for periods of time.

Move-in: Feb 1 - Feb 15.
Location: Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens, close to accessible public transportation.

Accessibility (Strict Requirement): Must be an elevator building or ground-floor access.

Interior: Must have wide doorways/open layout to accommodate a wheelchair (newer construction often works best).

Budget: Seeking $2,000/month max. Given the high medical costs, a donated sublet or community rate would be a profound gift.
