Introducing The Talented @yanes94 From Venezuela: Post Earnings To Be Donated

I'd love to introduce @yanes94. She's a caring, generous and upbeat young women living in Venezuela who has the most amazing drawing ability.

It was through her drawings that I met @yanes94. She selflessly offered to draw a picture of me, my wife and our animals as a surprise present for my wife. She sent drafts to me and worked industriously to get something that would make a lovely gift. The final product was posted here.

The original

I got to know her a little in the process of working on the drawing and my admiration of her positive outlook on life in the face of the horrible hyperinflation that her country is suffering at the moment renewed as sense of humanity and compassion in me that I'd not felt in many years.

She shared some of her life with me which she said I could mention online. She's a mother of two and one of seven living at home trying to make a living day by day in the face of impossibly currency collapse. Gone is the family food business of two decades which she used to love working for.

Prices rise every day and she makes a living with her drawings on Steemit. What an amazing thing to be able to say and another success story for this platform. It would be my great privilege to donate the earnings of this post to her and her family for not only producing a wonderful drawing for us but for showing such strength in the face of adversity.

At the moment in Venezuela people have generally lost a lot of weight as food is scarce and expensive. Salary payments just don't cover the basics of life. In particular, the internet in Venezuela is very poor and restricts her ability to post her drawings online.

Despite living day to day, she was spirited enough to simply say to me that other people have it worse. We could certainly do with a lot more of that kind of attitude in the world.

Here's her most recent work "Emma Frost"

... and another one I particularly like, Harley Quinn

She says up most of the night working on her drawings so that they can be posted to steemit. When leaving work one afternoon, she said she was just starting her next drawing. It was about 1:30am for her. That's an amazing devotion to supporting her family. I think a good upvote in support of @yanes94 would be well placed. Why not check out her work and follow if you find it appealing.

Thanks for your support and charity!
