I'm starting things up again!

Hello! My name is Emi for those of you who don't know me. Basically, a while ago, I started this fundraiser I called "Art for Ronan." I sold my art to raise money for the Ronan Thompson Foundation. I did very well with my fundraiser and was able to make nearly $300 for the foundation. As much as I wanted to keep going with my fundraiser, I had a lot going on personally and was also really struggling to get people to buy my art or even just donate to the foundation. Taylor Swift is a very important person in my life. She is the whole reason I even know about the Ronan Thompson foundation in the first place. Today, (or... technically yesterday since I am writing this past midnight..) Taylor's mom was diagnosed with cancer. Because of this sad news, I have been inspired to start up my fundraiser once again. I had gone probably more than half a year without painting and I just randomly started painting again last weekend. I really believe in signs and I feel I got all of this motivation now because I need to start this fundraiser up again. I had paused it because things were too overwhelming, but I feel in my heart that this is the right time to pick things up again.

Ok, now that all of the background information is done, I will explain Art for Ronan to those who have never heard of it. Hopefully, that is most of you reading this post and considering donating and helping my fundraiser. Basically, as I previously said, I sell my art in exchange for donations. I take commissions and will paint anything. All you have to do is donate directly to the Ronan Thompson foundation (http://www.theronanthompsonfoundation.com/), send me proof of your donation and I will send you a painting, either one that I have already done or one you personally request. The minimum for each donation is $15. Larger donations are both welcomed and encouraged but every painting is set at a $15 price. My contact information is artforro3@gmail.com. I pour my heart and soul into every painting I do. Shipping is 100% on me so all you have to do to contribute is donate directly to the foundation and I will paint you whatever you want. Here are pictures of my most recent pieces.


 
The pink is a gift for someone, but the other two are 100% available. I am also obviously willing to do one similar to the pink one if anyone is interested. If you are interested please contact me. I also have many things I have done in the past. Here are some of my personal favorites. A few of these are actually still available :).
 
 




 
Please consider buying a painting from me. Even if you don't, please donate to the Ronan Thompson foundation. This is such an important cause. Again, my contact email is artforro3@gmail.com.
 
Love always,
Emi at Art for Ronan.
