You are at, The Official Cyndi Chaotika Memorial & Tribute site, CCMT. This site has been created with consent and authorization from the following,
CCMT was inspired by the tragic and sudden death of Cyndi Chaotika as a result of *sepsis from using dirty needles complicated by pneumonia and kidney failure. In the following months CCMT will be expediting applications for non-profit status and the establishment of the Cyndi Chaotika Foundation, CCF. CCMT & CCF will also work together to ensure that Cyndi's legacy and volumes of creative properties be secure and available to the public. Her art, writing, photographs and modeling work will be recorded and documented for years to come for your viewing pleasure. A board of directors will be appointed to oversee any and all transactions that transpire at CCMT & CCF. The Cyndi Chaotika foundation will be structured as a public foundation supported by multiple sources. By-laws will be created and proper legal documents filed with the IRS. State regulations will be followed to the letter of the law and statutes in the location where the foundation will exist, which is not yet been determined. The CCF will allocate services and or award funds to qualifying applicants as well as specific causes that were dear to Cyndi. Cyndi was devoted to the protection of animals and independence for artists. CCMT & CCF does not advocate addiction, it is not for the purpose of glamorizing or romanticizing the use of drugs legal or illegal, medically or self prescribed. However, CCMT & CCF recognizes the need for education and a clean needles exchange program for intravenous drug users. Education is key for family members and friends regarding issues, symptoms and the, signs to look for in a loved one who has become addicted to drugs and or alcohol. There are serious, painful and terminal dangers for those who use drugs and alcohol to the point of addiction. Sharing needles or using dirty needles causes deaths worldwide some of which could be prevented through a needle exchange program. It seems almost too simple when you say it but it really is not. Many people have no idea that their loved ones use drugs and are in need of assistance. Those that do know more often than less find it to difficult to accept. Parents, friends, lovers, relatives, even strangers feel lost as to what direction to take. People don't know how to go about implementing a plan or approaching the person with the problem. Addiction is more than just a stupid choice and to refer to drug abuse with anything but love, understanding and a positive plan is judgmental and not helpful. Set boundaries and rules do what is vital to the situation before it is too late. Intervention, healing and recovery is difficult but it is not impossible. It does require great love and prayer, humility, perseverance, courage, strength, support and professional help. People who use drugs do deserve a fighting chance, don't give up on your loved ones because they have abandoned themselves and their dreams. We all fall short and I do believe that if not for Gods grace it could be you or I. Perhaps you overeat, maybe you are one of the millions that can not get through a day without consuming unhealthy volumes of coffee, tobacco, candy or fast food. The list of damaging habits is endless, habits that do just as much harm as drug and or alcohol abuse. You are not better than the person who's drug of choice is an illegal substance, you are just better off, be thankful not judgmental.In addition, this site will not ever contact you through any media such as but not limited to, email, telephone, text or in person to solicit funds for CCMT or CCF.

Contact us at chaotika@violetarojo.com, thank you.Sepsis, Septicemia is a painful death sentence in most cases for intravenous drug users but is also preventable. Sepsis can result from using dirty needles or not cleansing the skin properly prior to injecting oneself with drugs. *Sepsis occurs when large numbers of infectious agents exist in the blood. Bacteria usually enter the blood from an infection somewhere in the body. Infections with fungi and parasites may lead to sepsis as well. *UPMC
