What would you do with $25,000?Buy a piece of land to live on and build an art studio to live in. I would welcome anyone in my circle of family and friends who needed a place to escape for a while for peace and love. Especially a place for my husband to continue recovering from his cancer treatment, from the past year. He had 22 chemo treatments, 2 surgeries, hospitalization for 2 weeks and 30 radiation treatments for stage 3 lung cancer and has been diagnosed as cancer free. He still gets immunotherapy infusions every 6 wks
