My Project

The children who attend my middle school have historically dealt with large obstacles and societal nastiness. Now more than ever, they need support to calm themselves and express the plethora of mixed emotions they are feeling.

When given basic art supplies, we see our students flourish, see the light of inspiration come back into their eyes, and see them radiate with the passionate opportunity to create.

I hope you will consider helping them in this hour of extreme disruption and difficulty. Every small gift, to them, is something immensely valuable. Everything we do to help them express will further work to impact their lives.
