Fundraiser Auction/Raffle, by alison03 on Dec 31, 2013 6:33:18 GMT 1, Hey all,
Just thought I'd make quick post here and spare you the long-winded version (but pm me if you'd like to know more or have questions, or check out the threads on expressobeans about it). But some eb members and I have begun listing posters on ebay as a part of a fundraiser for my husband, who is battling Stage IV rectal cancer and was dropped by his insurance, raising medical expenses to over $100k (with radiation, surgery, and mop-up chemo still left on his plate). He hasn't been able to work since summer, but he was always on the cusp of making it back, and I had credit cards and financial aid, so we just kept thinking we'd be fine, and tried to live our life as such, especially after "wasting" the first month or so after diagnosis hiding out at home in a hazy depression. Turns out reality came a knockin' and we weren't fine at all. Anyway, Inside the Rock Poster Frame, Tim Doyle (Nakatomi), OMGPosters, and Evil Tender have blogged about it so far, and in addition to what we're doing, others have began fundraising in their own ways.
You can search user 'anauctionforjonathan' or check out www.ebay.com/sch/anauctionforjonathan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692 where prints will be added in the coming weeks until we run out (including art from Eine, Fairey, Choe, Grafter, Eelus, Penny, Geddes, DalEast, Martin Whatson, Pure Evil, My Dog Sighs, and galleries like Suben and GraffitiPrints, as well as originals from Durieux and Edmiston). There are pieces from my own collection as well as items generously donated from forum members, artists, and galleries. In addition, donations in increments of $20 to his GoFundMe page at: www.gofundme.com/forjonathan or through PayPal (pm for address) will all be entered into a raffle for additional prints, tbd soon.
Thanks for reading!

Good luck with everything
