TL;DR: Loan me money and get a free drawing as interest. You get your money back, and a free drawing.
This is gonna be a tad long because I want to be transparent. Skip to the numbered section if you don't care about backstory.

In 2014, I asked you guys to trust me and loan me some money so that my husband and I could help my dad buy a home after the house he was renting went into foreclosure. He was just barely unable to afford the house he wanted. Thanks to you guys, I was able to give him a couple thousand dollars toward his house, and he got it! Everyone who loaned me money received the money back within the time frame I gave, and they all received the art they were promised (with the exception of a select few who didn't want any art, just their money back, you guys are awesome). Between that and how long I've been doing commissions and interacting with the community, I'd hope that I've earned some trust along the way.

Now I'm back, wondering if anyone would be interested in a similar arrangement. My mom currently travels the US with her husband in an RV. He works as an electrician and goes where the money is, but my mom is tired of traveling. My mom has always dreamed of owning her own land in the country, but she has not been able to find the right place that offers everything she needs and is within her budget over the last couple years. She finally found some land in Tennessee that has everything she wants, but it's $7,000 out of her budget. She's already tried multiple negotiations, but the seller is insisting on cash only and wont budge on the asking price.

This is something my mom has been committed to for a couple years now, and I'm hoping I can help her get enough to buy it. I can't make art fast enough to takes commissions to cover this, so I'm hoping the loan idea works a second time around. Here's how it works.

1. You send me as much money as you're willing to trust me with. It can be $20, or $2,000. No limit. SRStudiosArt[at]gmail.com
2. You send an email with your FA name, amount sent, and Paypal email address for my records. (Details below)
3. I stash the money in my bank account until my mom has enough, combining her money, mine, and the loans from you guys, to buy the property.
4. My mom and I will stay in contact and if we get enough money, I'll send the money to her and she'll buy the land
5. I will pay off everyone who lends me money within 6 months. Some will be paid off within the month, others later.
6. As a bonus, every single person who sends money will receive art from me. So you get 100% of your money back and you get a drawing as interest.

Special notes:
1. In the event that my mom is not able to make the purchase, all money will be returned immediately.
2. I'd appreciate all loans be sent as a GIFT to avoid Paypal fees. HOWEVER, it is your choice and if you send the payment as goods/services, I WILL, as I did last time, return the full amount you send, including any fees Paypal takes. So if you send $20 and I only receive $19.50 or whatever it is, you will still get your full $20 back.
3. Any loan art will not be started until after I've paid everyone back, to ease the stress on me. I will get your refs once I'm ready t start the art.
4. I will continue taking commissions over the repayment period and working on art for others so that I'm able to pay my own bills, and repay everyone who sent money.
5. If the amount sent is less than $10, you will get a very quick sketch. $10-$50, you will receive a refined sketch, no color. If it is above $50, you will receive a refined sketch with color and shading. If you sent a very large amount, we'll figure something out.

If you're interested in helping out, please send the money to SRStudiosArt[at]gmail.com via Paypal (again, I prefer it as a gift but it is your decision). Once the payment has been sent, please send me an EMAIL to the same email address with the subject "Loan - HFMM" and your Paypal email, amount sent, and FA username in the description. The subject line is VERY important, as I'm going to have Gmail autosort the emails so I wont lose them. This will allow me to be able to easily keep track of everyone. It worked out really well last time.

Thank you so much in advance. <3 Hoping we can make something nice happen once again. Sorry to ask like this, but I really want to help her. ;o;

If anyone is nervous or unsure, I can get a few of the people who donated/lent money last time to vouch for me. If you're one of those people and willing to speak up, please do. <3 Thanks!

Amount received so far- $3,250
