Moved to action by the recent Black Lives Matter movement, and racial injustice, I have decided to raise money to help the black community in my state of Maine. For every $5 donation here, you get one entry for a lap size quilt sewn by me.

All proceeds will be donated to:

For Us, By Us Fund.

Their mission: "The For Us, By Us Fund (FUBU Fund) is a flexible funding and organizing initiative that seeks to support the creative and organizing efforts of people of color (PoC) in Maine. The initiative, started after the election in November 2016, was the brainchild of two Portland-based Black women organizers. The fund was started in response to the needs the founders heard in their communities. After the election, PoCs in southern Maine expressed a need for funds, space, and opportunities to connect, collaborate, create, and organize. The founders are committed to keeping the fund flexible to respond to these needs."

each $5 donation = one entry
$10 = 2 entries
and so on.

*Donations close end of day Sunday, June 14th.
