Frames for a Future: an Auction to Benefit Children with AIDS

by Amy Derby on December 1, 2007

This isn’t exactly writing related, but it’s for a good cause to support one of my pro bono writing clients, so please indulge me in this non-writing-related post.


Frames for a Future: an auction to benefit children with AIDS
RIGHT NOW through December 7
Click here for the auction.

The American Foundation for Children with AIDS put a call out for artists to decorate one-of-a-kind frames to raise money for their efforts in helping children with AIDS, and the frames are now being auctioned off on ebay. All proceeds from the auction will go directly to the children, to buy lifesaving medicine for these children with HIV and AIDS, many of whom are orphans. The AFCA is a non-profit charity whose work I personally admire, and I hope this auction will provide them with the extra funds they need to continue the awesome work they do.

Not only will the money raised from the auction support a good cause, but the frames will make great holiday gifts. Some of the frames are absolutely gorgeous. They’re all hand-designed, unique and completely original. Artists around the world put a lot of love and talent into these frames, all for a great cause this holiday season. Click here to check out the frames. They’ll make you smile, even if you can’t afford to make a bid.

For all of you who have your own blogs, if you want to do a good turn for someone else this week, consider linking to this auction and encouraging your readers to do the same. These poor kids can use any help they can get.

Well, I like it even if it isn’t a “real” word :0)

I wanted to let you know I posted about this on my blog and shared the links. It’s heart-breaking.

We love a good conversation!
