My love of people and sharing whenever and where ever I can is deeply rooted in my faith and family values.  I have had the privilege of painting a custom chair and handcraft some custom soaps for a Gala for A Friends house and had the opportunity to tour the facility and see all the great work that is being done there to help the children who have been placed in their care.  A  Friend's House an organization which cares for abused, neglected and abandoned children in the court system.  

I have also worked with http://rainbowvillage.org creating hand painted chairs for their gala and have personally seen all the work they do to help families and their children in need.

 I created the Art Boxes of Hope initiative to continue to be able to help the organizations I care deeply about in my community who give of themselves to those less fortunate and who need encouragement and guidance. For the many who find themselves displaced due to natural disasters and other life altering events which caused them to get displaced from what they had. 

$5-$10 dollars are donated to A Friends house  and other organizations that I find are in financial need and are clearing supporting the community. The monies from every sale will help supply food, clothing, school supplies, the ability to organize field trips and the day to day care of the children. It will also allow me to purchase items that I can place in the hand painted boxes to be handed out to the children and adults alike.  The items that will be included in the boxes are toiletry items to include products from my bath line, and goodies that can help in a small way to bring comfort and to have something they can call their own with the hand painted boxes, especially when they have lost all they have.  

It is my sincere hope that you know how much you are appreciated, because whenever you are enjoying the painting(s) and products from my lifestyle collection you have purchased, you are effectively supporting the children who are in need of so much and families who have lost everything due to natural disasters and other life altering events.  Thank you so much .
