I have a huge heart for animals. They just make me happy! When reading about the Australian brush fires I found it to be unbearable. Often, I wouldn’t click on articles that shared disturbing imagery. It was too heart wrenching. Does this mean I am burying my head in the sand? Heck no! These fires require international compassion and assistance. I know I can make a difference, even if it’s just a few bucks. You can too!

Trekell Art Supplies created art panels in the shape of Australia (and they’re donating their profits from sales of these panels). Currently, I am auctioning off two original acrylic paintings (on these panels) to do my part for Australia. Panel sizes are 7.75″ tall x 10″ wide. My fundraising will benefit WIRES (https://www.wires.org.au). The first is a painting (A) is of Laughing Kookaburra bird. This bird is native to eastern mainland Australia. The second painting (B) is of a koala bear. Who doesn’t love these cuties?!

The auction will begin Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 12:00 pm MST. Bidding will end on Thursday, February 6 at 12 pm MST. The winning bids will be announced on Friday, February 7 at 12 pm. Shipping will be included worldwide. ALL NET PROCEEDS will be donated to WIRES. The auction will be blind, but leading bids will periodically be posted on socials to inspire new bids. Bidding starts at $100 USD for each painting, only through paige@ihavegumption.com. Please provided your full name, mailing address, phone number, and your bid in USD.

Thank you for your participation! I believe together we can make a difference.
