🫧 Spark Rare Hope: The Story Behind the Canvas 🫧 What do bubbles, embroidery, and genetic science have in common? A whole lot of hope, and a little girl named Marley who inspired it. This one-of-a-kind canvas started as a simple art day in our backyard. Marley and I spent the afternoon blowing paint-filled bubbles, watching them float and pop across the blank canvas. Each burst left behind a beautiful splash of color … unpredictable, vibrant, and full of life. Much like Marley herself. Once the canvas was dry, I added the finishing touches with hand embroidery. Together, we created something that wasn’t just a piece of art, but a collaboration of love, creativity, and determination. The words “Spark Rare Hope” are stitched boldly, not just as a title, but as a declaration. It’s the feeling we felt the day we got the call that Marley had been accepted into the N-Lorem Foundation program. After a devastating diagnosis, that call changed everything. Our future suddenly looked different, brighter and filled with possibilities. At the bottom of the canvas, you’ll see p.Arg534, a nod to Marley’s specific #NARS1 genetic variant. But you’ll also notice something else, a firework exploding from it. Because her variant may shape her biology, but it will never define her. Marley is limitless. And the spark she carries has already ignited hope for so many. 🧵 This canvas is now up for auction, and every dollar raised will go toward n-Lorem, helping create a life-saving treatment not only for Marley, but for others just like her.
