Word Of Thanks
The
max's kansas city project allowed me to pay my rent and have a place to live
when I was faced with being homeless. It is because of the project's
caring spirit that artists have somewhere to turn in their hours of
desperation. Bless you all!
As
an old “regular” of Mickey’s haven, I know this was given in the Spirit
with which Mickey ran Max’s, supporting the people who are working hard at
their art and who were sometimes not able to make ends meet. Max’s Kansas City
project is an important support system. I am sure they will be able to save some
very worthwhile and creative souls in their endeavors, and make it possible for
the rest of the world to experience art that may not have been able to be
produced otherwise.

I
happily stand and sing praises to the work that the max’s kansas city project
is doing to help artists in need. Last fall I received a small but meaningful
grant that helped me meet my rent for the month. May this important foundation
continue to help artists in need now and in the future.
I
was very fortunate to receive a grant from the Max’s Kansas City project this
fall. I am a conceptual performance artist….my co-parent fell seriously ill
and was unable to help with cost and emotional support of raising our three
daughters.
Simultaneously, several free lance jobs fell through and within two
months my house was in default and all my resources gone. In this economy safety
nets are a rarity. I felt an
alliance with Max’s history and saw the institution and had always seen the
artists and musicians that were part of that heritage as family and ancestry.
There are few places to receive emergency funds for artists and even fewer for
performance artists. The generous funds received enabled me to keep my home and
for that I am eternally grateful.
I
was a fortunate recipient of financial help from the max’s kansas city project
for bills from a hospitalization. I
am a dancer and lived in New York City for almost nine years. Like many artists
I struggle to make a living. When taken ill this past May, I was financially
burdened with hospital bills and had no income for some time thereafter until
recovery. I had read about the max’s kansas city project in the New York times
and applied for emergency funds. After meeting with two representatives for an
project, they granted my financial assistance and I felt a great weight lifted
off my shoulders. I am incredibly grateful for their help.
