Christine Smith is a lifelong musician, songwriter, touring/recording artist and a dear friend to many. She is such a talent; a multi-instrumentalist having performed on drums, percussion, guitar, keys and accordion. She has been a part of the music community since she was 20 years old, touring the world and playing live on stage with the likes of Jesse Malin, Tommy Stinson, Marah, Bruce Springsteen, Crash Test Dummies and others. She settled in Memphis, Tennessee, where she supported herself by teaching piano to aspiring students and fellow musicians earning enough to cover her rent and monthly bills. Recently she suffered a severe stroke. Losing mobility in her right side, she cannot walk and has lost her speech, and her ability to play piano.
She is currently in the hospital and has been there for a month. She has no health insurance, and the state of Tennessee says she doesn't qualify for Medicaid. She is in dire need of physical therapy and nursing and cannot care for herself.
A true artist, Christine Smith sacrificed her basic needs in pursuit of her talents and always was so supportive of other artists, helping to facilitate other people's visions, creations and artistic dreams. Christine is facing a severely difficult struggle now and needs your help. Helping her gain access for medical care, nursing support, and physical therapy will give her the strength and confidence to get back on her feet and continue sharing her beautiful talents and kind spirit with the world.
I am Christine’s Godmother and the monitor of this Go Fund Me Campaign. If you have any questions or want to reach out to Christine, I can help facilitate that. I’m sure she would love to hear from you all. We are just so devastated and trying to help her get back on her feet and your contribution will make the difference. Thank you so much!
