Help us buy the painting for Sarah!

Otago

So our darling Sarah Macnab happened upon this painting which freaked her out - a doppelgänger in Southland complete with a mole in the right place!

The painting was by Kris Thomas and titled “The Volunteer” and it won an award in the McIntyre Dick Art Awards.

Crumbs said our Sarah “Well I reckon it looks like me..but I don't remember sitting for an artist”

“Perhaps you were busy?” And “what about mushrooms?” Said the gleeful crowd!

“ I am wondering if I will like my twin sister” says Madge!

After a bit of excellent sleuthing Ms Macnab finally discovered that nope, she doesn’t have a twin, or even a doppelgänger- it is really her!

Someone in the dark distant past snapped a photo of her and painted this smashing painting...

AND IT IS FOR SALE!!!!

Let’s all help reunite the twins eh?

170 of us got great joy out of Sarah’s post on Facebook so if everyone donates just a wee bit, say the price of a coffee (ha, see what I did there?!) then we can raise the $950 to bring “The Volunteer” home and spread the joy a little further...

There are rumours of free magnums of wine to be had at the unveiling too, bonus joy!!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
