Starving artist

My best friend recently and unexpectedly lost her main source of income. She has chronic health issues that have complicated job search in her field, but is an extremely talented artist who has been trying to work from home. (She's an illustrator, painter, writer, and graphic designer.) She gets NO government assistance, so I thought I'd see what I could do to raise money to help her get by temporarily, until she gets hired somewhere, or her artwork will sustain her.
