In our family, we love arts, crafts and creative projects of all sorts! A few years ago, I came across the story of a 15 year old girl who was waiting to be adopted from Nebraska Children's Home. In her profile, she described how she loved crafts and jewelry making. This story always really stuck with me. Here is a child, without a forever family, who loves the same types of creative projects that I love. Crafting often requires money (for supplies), mentoring (to learn skills) and mobilization (to get to where you can purchase supplies or take classes) and these can be tough for kids in foster care to come by.
The story of this girl inspired my family and I to start a brand new charitable organization called Crafts For Kids. Our goal is to provide craft kits, specialized for different age groups, to non-profits in our community. The craft kits will be distributed to children in need throughout the Omaha area.
Arts and crafts can provide a positive outlet for at-risk youth, help children to set goals, inspire future career paths and provide an overall sense of well-being and accomplishment.
We would love your help!
