Art with Heart is a nonprofit, community-based 501(c)3 organization that empowers youth who are facing trauma, illness or other crises through therapeutic books and artistic healing programs that supports expression of both their suffering and strength. Art with Heart’s important work is championed by public, corporate and private contributions.
Creativity is often overlooked as a positive behavioral intervention tool that promotes healing and trauma resolution. Self-expression can spur personal insight as well as self-motivated behavioral changes; it also helps youth gain the skills necessary for coping with stress and other challenges. Art with Heart encourages resiliency using the concepts of art therapy to lead toward greater self-confidence and emotional clarity.
YOU CAN HELP
"Oodles of Doodles made me feel happy. I had 18 surgeries and when I got this book, I was in bed. It took the pain away while I was doing it. It is so cool. I wish I had another one, ’cause I am already done with it." ~
Victoria, age 15Donate Art with Heart needs funding so that we can continue to help children like Victoria. Your gift of $40 can bring healing to a traumatized teen, a gift of $55 can help five hospitalized children or a gift of $110 can bring hope to hospitalized Hispanic children. You can donate any amount online using JustGive.org’s secure site or visit our online shop to donate to a particular program.
