Seann McKeel - Artist Relief Campaign Photo Montage narrated by Carson Ellis.
In spring of 2020, Seann McKeel was diagnosed with HER-2 Positive breast cancer, an aggressive form of cancer.
In collaboration with Seann's family and friends, the Jeremy Wilson Foundation (JWF) initiated this fundraiser to assist Seann with her insurance deductible, premiums, and other out-of-pocket expenses in 2021. Please send a little money her way if you can spare it. She'll be very grateful for any help.
