I'm getting in touch because I absolutely ...Hi! I'm getting in touch because I absolutely love your picture of the puzzle pieces made with melted crayons. I'm interested in using this picture on a small fundraising page for my aspiring nonprofit organization. I don't really have any money to offer you, but I didn't want to use your picture without asking. <br /><br />A little more about me: I'm 22 years old, and I just graduated from college this May. My 19-year-old sister has autism, so I've grown up as a member of the global autism community. I'm currently in the process of trying to start a nonprofit organization to better serve adults with autism spectrum disorders. Once my organization is up and running, I hope to open a bakery-cafe that will employ adults with ASD.<br /><br />As I said before, I don't really have any money to offer you-- I'm struggling to raise funds myself. But I hope you'll allow me to use the picture on my fundraising webpage, and perhaps I can send you a shipment of baked goods from the bakery-cafe when everything is up and running! <br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Sara Mae<br />saramaehickey@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026492428001710177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186774916932689935.post-22683607953180036422011-03-23T12:08:23.816-07:002011-03-23T12:08:23.816-07:00Great idea!

From what I've seen of Derek's artwork (on facebook), I have a feeling Mommy and son will connect of a deep level for many, many years through art. <br /><br />My husband set up a "chip in" link for a non-profit last year. I don't think it was very hard. He did it through paypal and linked it to facebook and the groups webpage. They raised a few thousand dollars from people just chipping in $5 or $10. Email JT if you want some details. I'm sure he'd be happy to help!Blue Hydrangea Furniturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846391953759817677noreply@blogger.com
