A Salisbury school hosts auction for Sells children

Students at Faith Baptist School in Salisbury have created paintings in order to help the Sells children.

In just a few months, these Van Gogh Starry Night paintings were crafted through oil pastels by students from 1st grade to 12th grade.

Their art teacher, Autumn Rush, wanted to create an auction for these paintings after she heard the news of the Sells children and their mother.

Airelle Sells' boyfriend allegedly attacked the kids and their mom with a knife and hammer back in December.

Sells passed away six days later.

All of the money will head to Valentina Downing, who is the grandmother and guardian of the Sells children, in order to cover any costs during their time of healing.

Rush says, "What I would love to see is for the community to come behind the children here at Faith Baptist School that have donated their art and put value to it. So they can in turn take that and turn it into something tangible to give to the Sells children to encourage them and to share God's love with them."

We are told the Sells children are currently in rehab daily.

The auction is being done through Facebook and it will run from 8 a.m. Friday May 5, 2017 until midnight Sunday.
