Donation Watercolor Postcards (12/01/2016)

I’m so sorry I need to ask for help again. Not only am I struggling to keep up with rent and my general medical bills, but I learned recently that I need to have my gallbladder removed and I do not have enough money to get it done. 

I had been experiencing extremely painful gallstone attacks for a few years now, not knowing what they were or why they were happening. I got an ultrasound last month because the attacks became so frequent I thought I was dying. I was shocked to be able to clearly see stones of all sizes in the scans. My doctor told me I need surgery immediately. 

If you haven’t known anyone who has gone through this, the severe pain can be described as worse than a heart attack or giving birth to a baby.

If I don’t get it out, my gallbladder could rupture and develop an infection that can be life-threatening. That surgery can easily cost several thousand dollars and I am nowhere near capable of affording it.  Which is why I am reaching out to you kind and generous people. 

I’ve always felt a sting of guilt whenever someone donates to my paypal. So from now on, I will send postcards to those who use the donate button on my blog or donate to my paypal directly with my email ([email protected]) no matter what the amount is.

Even if you donate $2.50, you will get your own postcard. Not a print, not a digital file, but an original hand painted watercolor postcard.

Those who donate over $45 will be able to request a custom painting on your postcard. All who donate lower than that will receive whatever I decide to paint. 

If you are a fan of my artwork and have never been able to afford a commission or items from my shops, this is your chance to add my paintings to your collection. If you can only donate $1, you still get a postcard from me.

Once you donate, please email me your name and address and I’ll get started on your card right away. Your wait should never take longer than a month because I’ve started using these cards as my sketchbook. 

Thank you in advance to those who donate or share this post, I appreciate all forms of help!
