“In the wake of the coronavirus crisis, people are suffering both physically and financially. A lot of families are going through difficult times. I had been thinking what is it that I can do that would make a little difference to the lives of those suffering. Since I have been painting in the lockdown, my friend suggested that I could sell my artwork to raise funds to help those in need,” wrote Prarthana, whose 2X 2 ft acrylic water-base floral painting is up for sale.

She continued, “I’ve started this campaign with an idea of doing something noble and I need your help to make it successful. Don’t buy these paintings, thinking you’re spending your money. Consider it as a return gift from me for helping out those in need.”
