July Feature: Kyle Hicks
Rather than a Featured Artist this month, we're introducing Kyle, whose life Santa Fe ArtWorld would like to Feature. Kyle is a17 year-old young man with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), in desperate need of a life saving bone marrow transplant. Children with EB are sometimes referred to as butterfly children because their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. The slightest pressure can cause painful blistering akin to a second-degree burn resulting in blisters the size of water balloons furthering the loss of skin from most of their bodies. In fact, blisters can arise for no reason at all. They occur inside the body as well, in the mucous membranes of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Scar tissue from rupturing skin is also a problem fusing fingers and toes causing cripple debilities.

Please see Kyle's personal webpage, www.COTAforKyleH.com to learn more about him and to make a contribution to allow him life tomorrow.

Following, a poem written by Kyle in the 6th grade:

Kyle

Small in frame
Eyelashes to kill for
Patient and respectful
Full of responsibility and determination
Who loves making people laugh
And Everybody Loves Raymond
Everything chocolate
Who fear death, hell, and bad people
Who wishes for new skin, a new body and
Freedom in a world of happiness
Who loves to create Easy Mac and Cheese
Good art and
Grades
I wonder if they will find a cure
Why peace doesn't always exist
God and His plan
Who dreams of flying to far away places
Healing the sick
Gaining weight
Who remembers being carried
And walking free
Far too many recoveries
Disneyland
I believe in acceptance for all
A loving God who looks after all
And one I will get to meet

Hicks
