There is a boy in hospital with a spectacular talent for drawing. Here is a lovely portrait he drew of a fellow patient. He has had no teaching. He can just do it. This drawing only took him about 15 minutes.
He keeps his drawings in his bedside locker and is always very pleased to show them to visitors. Sadly, he is very seriously ill and the future does not look at all hopeful. Both his parents are dead and his home is with an uncle, but he has accepted that he will probably never get back home.
As part of our work with the children, we get them to draw and do craft activities. The materials are simple – pencils, crayons, paper, glue – but they need constant replenishment. To help with the cost, we have decided to auction this picture.
But it is going to be an auction with a difference. In this auction everyone will have the privilege of making a payment, and the person who pays the highest amount will get the original picture. Everyone a winner!
You can make a secure online credit card payment here.
The winner will be decided on 20th June. (That’s my birthday and a bid in this auction would be a most acceptable present!)
