Ava Cipriani is a three-year-old girl undergoing treatment for neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer that is generally not diagnosed until it has already reached a critical stage. She was diagnosed in spring of 2006 and still has a year of treatment to undergo.
Through January 31, Monkeyhouse Toys and Art Gallery in Los Angeles is hosting Wishing Well, a display of art toys, sketches, paintings, and other items donated to benefit Ava's rapidly accruing medical debt. When the show closes, the works will be placed on ten-day auction through eBay.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, check out the crazy creatures and works of art at Monkeyhouse. And if you're not, consider placing a bid to help this little girl and her family get through a difficult and frightening time.
