Help an Artist Out!

I am a local artist in Modesto California. I have been creating art since I was little and started really focusing on my artwork for the past five years. During the past six years, I have been dealing with chronic back pain that makes it impossible for me to work a "regular" job, so I have been trying hard to work on my art as a business. It is all I got to keep me saine and also gives me pride in my work as well as giving me a purpose and in turn bringing in some income for my family.

Last year, my husband and I went through some financial woes and are still struggeling to get back in the swing of things. Unfortunantly, during our financial struggles, all my money that I had earned from art sales (mainly art prints) went towards groceries, paying for bills, and other necessities. Well, we are still financially struggeling, and I have been unable to put money back into my art which means I don't have enough art merchandise such as art prints and other things, and I need to restock on art supplies to make more art! Also, since I am unable to work a regualr job due to my chronic back pain, it can get very depressing and dishearning that I am unable to help bring in some sort of income for my family.... Plus I want to make more art and set up my art booth at events!

This summer I have been unable to do my regular events since I don't have enough art merchandise to bring, and creating art is  getting more and more difficult because as I use my art supplies, my art supplies depeleate, which means I can't make more art. I am in hopes that good hearted people will help me with this. I have always wanted to be an artist, and always strived to be an artist, but these difficult times plus my chronic back pain, is making it that more difficult. I want to continue doing my art, my passion, but can't do that without art supplies and art merch (art prints and such). If you could help donate so that I can replace or restock my art supplies and art merch to help get my art business back on track, even just a little bit, I would be so greatful!

Thank YOU in Advance!
