OKAY PEEPS! I am making a special artist teddy bear named Hamm for a very good cause. I will soon have him completed with pictures posted everywhere. If you're interested in owning a Tindle Bears original Teddy bear read the story below as it will only be available at the silent online auction at www.blockheadradiolive.com
Larry Hamm over at Chelsea Lynn Designs on Artfire is a friend of many in the world of handmade, he is also the voice of The Crazy Train on Blockhead Radio. Larry has a fantastic wife Janet, and an 8 year old son Jacob who live with him in Lansing, NC deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Larry is a friend to everyone and just an all around swell guy. He is most definitely the "shirt off your back" kind of friend. Right now, all of Larry´s friends and Blockhead Radio are teaming up to help him out in a tough time.
Larry is a disabled diabetic who currently has lost his health insurance. His medication alone monthly is over $2,000. Larry is not receiving disability, he has not been approved yet. His wife is the only source of income and she doesn´t make enough to cover his medications. Larry´s doctors have given him an outlook of only 18 months to live if he doesn´t receive a $17,000 gastric bypass surgery as soon as possible. Larry and his family need all the help from their family and friends they can get! Jacob and Janet need Larry to hang around here with them as long as he possibly can!
All of his friends surely want Larry to stick around too!All of us at Blockhead Radio are gearing up for the biggest Radiothon you´ll ever be a part of!

Hi, I'm Mona from 3PeepsDesigns at ArtFire. I've been out of the loop for a little while dealing with the mess of life, and have seen the tweets and blogs about Larry. He's a great guy, one of the friendliest people on ArtFire and I would like to help. Now I understand we are supposed to email pictures, descriptions, where the object is, and retail price to DeDe. But are we supposed to list the item in our shop and reserve it for Larry's silent auction or should I set the items aside and just blog about them? Any info would be great!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Mona
HEY mona! Just hang on to the item :) after the auction has ended you will get notified of the winners address! thanks a bunch!!!
