Art Donation for Orlando Victims

Donation protected
In the wake of this monstrous attack on our LGBT community, I am at a loss of what I can do for our Orlando friends and family. This terrible act meant to harm and destroy us has brought families to their knees. As a community, we must band together and help those who need it the most right now. 

I have dropped all current projects in order to create a memorial piece in honor of the victims of the shooting at Pulse in Orlando. I will auction of the original, as well as sell prints of the piece, with a minimum donation of $1. All those who donate will recieve a print of the piece. 

The painting will celebrate our Orlando LGBT pride, in the form of couples dancing and our local drag artists that have been involved with Pulse. It will be entitled, "Love Wins."

After printing and production costs, 100% of the profits earned from this painting and its subsequent prints will go to the victims of this terrible tragedy through the One Orlando Fund. 

My name is Charles Michael, I am a Proud Gay Orlando Native. I pray that you and your families are safe, and to those who have lost loved ones, we are here for you. We are one family united by love.

Transparency is always the best policy and we ask that you include the following information in your campaign description:

1. Who you are- My name is Charlie Laquidara, local Orlando artist known as Charles Michael.

2. Where you're from- Born and Raised in NYC, I have been in Orlando for five years.

3. Your relationship to the parties you're raising funds for- Patron of Pulse and acquaintance to some of the victims.

4. How the funds will be spent (be specific as possible)- Aside from print and mailing costs, 100% of the donations will be sent to the victims of the tragedy through the One Orlando fund.

5. How you intend to get the funds to those in need- After print costs, donations will go to the One Orlando Fund.
