What This Charity Is About

Hi There,

I'm a thirteen year old artist and my name is Kassie.

I started this blog - yes, for my art, but also - for my aunt.

My Aunt - Jacqueline DeRiggs - for seven years now has been battling cancer located in her spine. Though she's been put through countless treatments, my Aunt Jacqueline has been paralyzed in almost every part of her body. So, as a quadriplegic you can only imagine how hard doctor's appointments are.. Right?

Well, it's bad. Though they do have a car it's too small making it extremely difficult to get to the doctor when she needs too. So, as a result, they sometimes have to call an ambulance - which is ridiculously expensive -when she needs to go to the hospital.

Even though so much damage has been done, however, there are some things that can still make it easier for her. My family and I have decided a van is one of those things. A van made exclusively for people who are paralyzed just like my aunt.

So, we've finally made it to why this blog is here. To get her that van, we're going to need the sufficient funds, no doubt. What I want to do is sell my art to you guys. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't going to want to pay money just so that they can select from a few pieces everybody has... So, that's why, I'm doing commissions. You tell me what to draw, I draw it for you, and the money I earn goes into the charity for my Aunt.

I really to help my Aunt Jacqueline and this is a great opportunity to do so. Please help me out with this. All you have to do is ask for a drawing of anything and donate a few dollars.

It means so much to my family and I when a person reaches out to help, but one person won't get us very far. Please, tell everybody you know about this. Tell your, parent's tell your kids, tell your schoolmates and your workmates, tell your pets if they can spare some money! Spread the word about this charity, and help me help my Aunt Jacqueline!
