Healing in Arts successfully reached our international goal for 2023! Two special donors—a 20-year-old working a part-time, minimum wage job and his grandparents—each funded half of the project. Because of their generosity, we sent 1,000 art kits to children in Mexico and Ukraine in partnership with Erika Plunkett with Ama International in Mexico and George de Vuyst with Resonate Global Missions in Ukraine.
We would also like to thank Kathy Pluymert and her family for all their hard work assembling the 1,000 drawstring backpacks filled with a tissue paper art project and my childhood story of hope translated into Spanish and Ukrainian. Their generosity enabled us to give the gift of color to kids living in challenging circumstances.
Recently, while looking at our impact over the years, we discovered that Healing in Arts had given over 6,500 art kits worldwide. It’s amazing to see the power of a committed team with a common purpose to build hope, care, and connection in under-served communities through art. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us reach children in need across the globe.
Why do we do what we do? Because healing art has the power to inspire creativity, joy, and redemption.
