Ava's Fund #avasfund

UPDATE:  SHE MADE IT!  
I checked her page yesterday (the day after the deadline) and she actually ended up getting a couple hundred dollars over her original goal!
Aha...happy tears (  ; ~ ; )/  So many good people out there.  
Thanks to everyone who donated, you guys helped save the life of someone precious to me.

full tumblr post.

I've known Ava for three years and she's my best friend, someone very dear & close to my heart.
At the moment she's in serious danger of losing her home and having herself, her mom (who has impending lung cancer) and her cat thrown out on the street, in the middle of winter, in a not-so-decent neighborhood in London.  (Seriously.  Look up London in winter.  It is the furthest from balmy weather you can get.)
She is 19 years old and has had to drop university to look for a job to support them, which has not been successful. The post above has the full situation.

She may end up homeless or worse if she doesn't have $7,250 by November 30. 

This is not a scam nor a joke, this is a deadly serious situation involving a real person's life and survival, not to mention her family's.

************************************************
If you donate $5, I will draw you a digital sketch (black lineart).
$10 or more gets you digital lineart with flat color (see AdTi gift art post below for a sample).
Just email me your paypal receipt/screencap of confirmed donation, with a quick brainstorm or idea of what you want, and it's on.
A note: Please keep in mind that I am a student, and with that in mind I swear I'll get your art to you as soon as superhumanly possible.  (I did the AdTi gift art pencil sketch & digital work all in the same day, so have faith in my ability.)

Signalboost this on tumblr, facebook, twitter, wherever you can with #avasfund. At the moment she's a little over halfway to her goal.
She's now past $4000 - keep spreading this everywhere you can, she's almost there.
PAST $5500, super close you guys - keep it up please please PLEASE.

 Please, please do what you can - she's an amazing, brilliant person who's been through so much, and did so with unbelievable courage, strength, and maturity for someone so young. Please help her any way you can, even signalboosting just to get this out there can make a huge difference.  Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace, whatever and wherever you can think of.

You have the gratitude of all the people who love her, including myself.

Regards,
+ISA
