STAY HOME SAVE LIVES downloadable art fundraiser for COVID-19 PPE

Local artist LisaBeth Weber inspires Facebook users to support the movement and donate to the crisis facing our frontline healthcare workers

“I wanted to find a way to help spread the word, not the virus,” states Weber as her reason for creating art that is easily shared through social media and can also be printed on a home printer and placed in a window. Facebook and Instagram users are catching on and are updating their profile pictures with her Stay Home Save Lives image in order to share and show their support. To donate and grab the .jpg file go to www.lisabethweber.com/covid19fundraiser.

Weber describes the fundraiser as a ‘Donate What You Can’ campaign. “Any amount, from $5 to $50 or more, will help protect the health of those working so diligently to protect every one of us and our neighbors.” She chose the established non-profit Direct Relief as the recipient for the funds raised as they are a humanitarian aid organization active in all 50 states with a top rating by Charity Navigator. This gives peace of mind to herself and donors knowing that their dollars will make an impact and help secure much needed personal protection equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers.

Inquiries for other uses of the art and for information on making larger donations directly to the non-profit on behalf of this campaign can be sent to create@lisabethweber.com .
