"Dyre Lighthouse, Castine, Maine" an oil on canvas 12 x 16 inches by Michael E. Vermette

Welcome to Celiac Disease awareness fundraiser!

        It has been a long road of doctors, remedies and appointments

for my daughter Sherri Mitchell before we finially discovered she had

Celiac Disease. It is a genetic auto-immune disorder that causes the

body to attack the digestive system when wheat, barley, rye, kamut

or spelt is ingested. It causes severe damage to the digestive system

and leads to other long term health issues and even death if left

untreated. Because Sherri was diagnosed years after her symptoms

started she is dealing with a number of issues that require long term

treatment towards her healing. The testing and treatment has been

very expensive and she has been struggling with those costs while

trying to get well. My youngest daughter Tiana Vermette is organizing

this fundrasier to try and help ease the financial burden Sherri has and 

I am one of many artists and craftsman who are donating to this cause.
