>>Your purchase will help support cancer research through these four-star cancer research foundations: Dana Farber Cancer Institite, Cancer Research Institute, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation. As well, donations have and will be made to MD Anderson Cancer Center, the American Cancer Society, and Stand Up to Cancer - Where Handmadehelp maintains a "team" where you can see contributions grow.

>>Cancer, which has taken so many of my family and friends...and you probably know someone too...is curable! This year 500,000 people will die of cancer in the United States alone. When you purchase a piece of art work from either PaintingWell, or HandmadeHelp you will receive further information about how you have helped.

Here is an example of how a sale is contributed: Sale price $100. Etsy gets twenty cents for each listing plus 3.5% of the price = $3.70. PayPal also charges a fee which amounts to about $3.00. So, since shipping is free on most items, about $93.00 of your $100 purchase goes directly to cancer research.
If you have made a contribution to ANY cancer fund within the last 30 days, please contact handmadehelp [!at] yahoo.com and you may be eligable for a free gift.
Also, if you prefer to make the donation yourself to STAND UP TO CANCER, contact handmadehelp [!at] yahoo.com and ask about our art exchange policy. Our art exchange policy uses our team at Stand Up to Cander at: http://www.standup2cancer.org/teams?tq=handmadehelp
