Kristi's
Garden
An art gallery owner in Colorado
made Rick aware of a 9 year old girl named Kristi with cancer.
Kristi's mom was a single parent and was having a hard time paying
medical and living expenses. Rick immediately wanted to do something
to help the family. Through the gallery owner, he contacted Kristi
and asked about her favorite colors and animals. Rick composed
"Kristi's
Garden" that included the little girl's favorite colors
and animals with special emphasis on the color purple, bunny rabbits
and butterflies. Rick gave the original to Kristi and galleries
across the country sold the painting as a benefit for Kristi and
to help cover medical expenses.
