    Story

    I've been thinking about how I can help my dear friend Clare, Andrew and their lovely family since the events of that terrible night in August last year when Andrew (a 49yr old firefighter) was left paralysed, with multiple injuries), when a wall collapsed on him whilst attending a fire in Greenock. The events of that night have very sadly changed Andrew and the family's life forever. Andrew remains in hospital and will be there for a number of months with a very long rehabilitation ahead of him. Clare has been my dearest friend for 25 years+ and I would like to do my bit to help fund raise and contribute towards Andrews rehabilitation.
    I am unable to run marathons, climb mountains or skydive off of buildings to fund raise - but the one thing I can do is draw . Whilst I certainly don't profess to be Vincent Van Gogh or Pablo Picasso, it I will try to do my best.
    I would like to offer my services to draw maybe a family member, the kids, your dog, the cat or even the your favourite popstar or actor and in return I'm looking for a donation towards Andrew's fund.

    I'd be looking to draw a portrait style drawing, (head and shoulders). Colour or black and white. Size could vary! Just simply email me for details at susan.artforandrew@gmail.com. I will require a clear, close up photo of the subject, this can be sent via email or through FB messenger.

    100% of the donation will go to Andrew's fund. I am supplying all the paper and the materials etc.
    I work full time so will be doing this in my spare time, so please give me as much notice as you can. Happy for you to donate to the fund once you have received the drawing. If you are far a field and can't collect from me, I will require to charge postage this can be sent via PayPal to me and I can tell you the cost once it has been posted.
    Many Thanks for your donation.
