Help Chicago Kids Shine Through Art

Donation protected
I'm Helen and I live in a primarily Hispanic neighborhood in Chicago. There are two elementary age brothers who sit on the doorstep of an empty storefront near my apartment and ask people passing by if they want to buy their artwork. They paint on copy paper with what looks like tempera paint. The youngest boy is 8 and often his older brother (maybe nine or 10?) will sit on the doorstep selling his brother's paintings! They keep the paintings in a closed 3 ring binder on their lap.

I bought these two paintings from the 8 year old for $5.00. What 8 year old uses the words "Humble" and "Grateful"??! I was so moved.....! I want to help them! I'd like to raise $500 for them to buy frames, canvases and display easels for them. Won't you contribute to support the creative aspirations of these children?!
