Closing this as it has been awhile since there has been any interest. I want to thank the folks who supported my little endeavor. Although it is not a lot, we raised $60 that otherwise never would have been - that is pretty cool :-)
Best wishes to you all!

Wouldn't it be neat if we could make something good happen to someone deserving of it as a direct result of many people having to do very little. Read all about it on my site: www.artonthewing.com/doodle.html

About this experiment...
Doodle size, intensity, subject, style, media, and medium are all as unpredictable as are random acts of kindness between strangers.
When you are taken to Paypal, please be sure that your shipping address is correct or else someone else will be getting yours. Delivery of your doodle will be via the good old US Postal service, because lets face it, it's a doodle, not the Mona Lisa.
Just in case you are wondering, I've set the donation amount to $5, which after Paypal deducts its fee, amounts to $4.55 for the "cause".
First, let me clear something up: I am NOT in dire straights - my mom called worried about my situation after seeing my lame attempt at internet panhandling.
I didn't think anyone would click on the Paypal link and actually take me up on this, but you did. I am delighted of course, but you forced me to take this whole thing a little more seriously.
So here is what I think we should do.
It just so happens I know someone who could really use some help fixing up her home that is still all messed up after hurricane Ike last year. . I can't tell you her name, as she doesn't know I'm doing this and she is a proud woman. She needs her roof fixed, her floor fixed, a driveway, the list goes on and on. If I could afford it myself, I would do it - but I can't.
So, you send money, i save it up until there is enough to send to someone else so they can fix up the anonymous person's home.
Sending a doodle for your contribution, is just a way of saying thanks for being a nice person with the added benefit of "forcing" me to be creative... which I haven't felt like doing in a long time. I'm not going to do anything fancy as it wouldn't make sense for me to spend more money than you give, to raise money.
There are no receipts. I am NOT a charity organization, just a person with an idea... which may or may not work out. We will see.
