To whom it may concern,
Your advertisement came through my page and/or email, and if you do not mind, let me instead make a request of you. Please forgive me if this bothers you.
I am disabled with Bone Cancer in multiple areas of my spine which has caused paralysis in both of my feet, ankles and legs, as well as my left hand. I can no longer drive or work which means that I have no income. Because of this I cannot help you financially.
I am virtually homeless except for a friend who allows me to sleep in a closet. I have another friend that brings me food from a food pantry, so I get by, barely.
I would however like to request that instead, you assist me financially. Anything useful and/or any amount of money that you can donate to me would be greatly appreciated.
If you can get me a vehicle that I can operate manually, I could get a job and transport myself.
Thank you for your kind and generous consideration,
Everett Guyton

🎶🎍Arcadia, located in the Office of Sustainability's Presidents Park Greenhouse at GeorgeMasonUniversity's Fairfax Campus, is Murals at Mason's featured ELEMENTS installation and a fascinating piece of art from educator, performer, and artist Sam Nester.
🎶🎍This synesthetic art exhibit uses sensors to convert the natural, real-time bio-rhythms of Virginia's native plants into entrancing music and a beautiful light display that the plants control themselves!
📆The Arcadia installation launched in December 2020 and will be active until December 20, 2021!
