Time for fundraising
Adrian's just had an invasive surgery. An expensive invasive surgery. On top of this cost, he's also going to be missing two weeks worth of work. And Christmas is coming.
So it's time for me to drum up some funds.
With this in mind, I am having a Preston Family Surgery/Christmas Fundraiser.
By clicking on the "Donate" button below, you're helping us immensely, but it withers my soul to ask for charity, so in return, I am offering goodies.
$5.00 - A drawing, subject matter of your choosing (some restrictions apply). I am not a terribly good artist, and the quality of my work varies greatly depending on the subject matter and how drunk I am, but I ENJOY doing it. You also have the option of a drawing made by Elijah. Granted, he's six; but he offers a wider variety of subject matters than I do (since he is less self-conscious about his work), plus everything he makes is so fucking cute. This is listed as the $5 item because all I can promise is that it will be a tangible reminder that you did our family a solid. *
$15.00 - An animated gif or icon, subject matter of your choosing. Some restrictions apply. I work best with video that is <30 minutes long. *
$25.00 - A scarf or a draft excluder, your choice of colors (yay my mum works at Michaels). These are things I know I can make. It has also been suggested that I could make hats or washcloths; I will be happy to make the attempt if that's what you wish but please know that the style would be experimental at best, especially for a hat. If you choose to have me try washcloths, you would receive a set of 4. Love in every stitch! *, **
$100.00 - A single-person afghan, colors of your choosing. *, **
* Yes, I am aware that none of the items offered are worth as much as the donation attached to them. That is because this is a fundraiser, not a proper sale.
** These things take time-- maybe as long as a couple of months, depending on how many I have to crank out. Try to be patient with me; I have arthritis in my hands.
Of course you can have any combination of the above items you wish; for instance, if you have no use for an animated gif, we could make you three drawings. If you don't need a scarf, hat, draft excluder or washcloths, you could have an icon and two drawings. THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS!
This post is being left open, so if you know any other good-hearted people who have money to throw away this holiday season, you can direct them here.
Thanks in advance to all who choose to participate. Every little bit helps a lot.
