I know many of you probably feel the same way I do when I watched Hurricane Sandy hit and leave behind devastation and enormous hardship to the people on the East Coast, what can I possibly do to help?
Several of us have donated art as an extra incentive to help those in need. ‘Determined’ seemed like a perfect choice for me to donate as I see inspiring story after inspiring story of the determined spirit of those who have lost everything go about reclaiming their lives in the aftermath of the storm.

Sometimes we think our ‘small’ effort isn’t enough to help and if we can’t do something big we don’t bother-but that’s what’s so great about being a small part of a big thing like the raffle Art Is You is putting together! If we each can just give something small, those many small things become a very big blessing to someone who has lost everything. I hope you’ll look at the information below and see if there is a way you can help. This is a time for America to stand together and help those in need!
Join Art is…You, Adorn Me!, An Artful Journey, The Artful Gathering and Vivi Magoo Presents – as we raise much needed funds for essential personal and household items for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Working with Family to Family and local relief agencies we will have your donation delivered directly to where it is needed – into the hands of those who have lost everything. Let them see how we can unite and Live in Generosity. Let them feel our love.
We would like to thank our four wonderful art friends who stepped forward to help us with our efforts. Kim Geiser for donating her Ipadoodle talents and creating this wonderful logo promoting our efforts. Pam Carriker, Sue Pelletier and Jodi Ohl – who have donated a piece of art as an added incentive for anyone who makes a donation on our site. You will go into the draw to win one of these fabulous pieces of art. Drawing will take place November 30th, 2012 at 9.00am Eastern.
Just click on the DONATE NOW Button and you will have the opportunity to make a cash donation or purchase actual items including groceries or gas cards. Once you have donated, please share on Facebook, tell your friends – get the word out that this village of artists, their family and friends are united in rebuilding the lives of those around them.
Finally we would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda Young, Barb Solem, Cindy Woods, and Cristina Zinnia Galliher for their personal attention to this initiative!
