It's here! If you need a floral pop of color on your wall and also want to help Ukrainian refugees, make a bid on my sunflower painting!

TLDR: 100% of the money from the winning bid will go to help Mercy Waters, a QC-based charity that has been sending truckloads of medical supplies and fresh, drinkable water to Ukrainian refugees. Scroll down to see the current bid and to bid on the painting. 

We told you about Mercy Waters earlier this month. Sunflowers are the Ukrainian national flower.

Now, I am the textbook definition of an amateur painter, but I joined Figge's "Sunflowers for Ukraine" class that benefited the work of the Save the Children charity in Ukraine and I want to keep the spirit going to help out Ukraine. Here's the painting and current bid (and proof of brain cells I put into it):

Current Bid: $50

I'm updating the current bid every few hours so if you would like to submit a bid, fill out the form below. Again, all of the money from the winning bid will go to Mercy Waters' effort in Ukraine. The auction will close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 1 and you have to be able to come pick the painting up at the station, we will not mail it.

Mercy Waters has already had several truckloads of supplies make it to Ukrainian refugees, let's add another one.

If you would like to help out Save the Children, here's some information on them as well. They help vulnerable families get the resources they need, like food, shelter, and medicine.
