Send Grace Back To China

Grace Yang is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

HI! I'm Grace. I'm currently a (starving) Brooklyn-based artist, @YAYCAKE .

I'm moving to CHENGDU, CHINA. Yup. China. It's literally across the world; 7,505 miles, to be sure. And I need your help to move there. In exchange, you'll be rewarded with some Yaycake original watercolor, mixed media, or drawing pieces.

WHERE DOES THE $$$ GO?
I'm glad you asked, conscious consumer!

+ Plane tickets to Chengdu ($$$)
+ Visa costs ($)
+ Chengdu basics (finding and renting an apartment, transportation) ($$)
+ Moving 7000 miles away (!!!)
+ Teaching English as a Foreign Language certification (TEFL) ($$$)

I will be in the moving process from now until October 28th. I will be arriving in Chengdu, China on Saturday, October 29th.

WHY SHOULD YOU HELP ME?

I want to create more art. Chengdu, China affords the cost of living and time resources I need to explore, collaborate, and connect through art and re-learning the language. And if I can find a way, I'll be able to help others find unique ways to pursue their own dreams beyond the options they feel are available to them.

I'm giving away all my art from the past 5+ years to those who are kind enough to help fund my journey-- and the next chapter of my life.

If you've ever thought that artists should get paid, here's your chance ;) Plus, anyone who donates gets to crash on my couch in Chengdu, China (not all at once, now). A place to stay 7000 miles across the world, when you're ready to come explore the beauty of the Sichuan province, and to visit the pandas !

This GoFundMe campaign will end on Tuesday, October 4th, 2016.

FUNDER REWARDS:

As a thank you to helping me on this new 'chapter' of my life, I'm rewarding my funders.
