Art Supplies Needed!

Vera has a family! This is great news for such a sweet little girl.

There is a group of wonderful people who minister to orphans in Ukraine. They care so much for the children, and do a great job of teaching them bible stories! Unfortunately, they don't have much money to buy art supplies. These children love the art projects - read about them and see pictures HERE. They are more than simple art projects. It's more than just drawing and gluing. These chances to create something are fused with love and hope. In the orphanages, the children's caregivers actually do care about the kids. They're not heartless. But there are no funds for toothpaste, clean mattresses, or enough food, let alone art supplies. The kids do not have anything of their own. My friends in Ukraine visit these children, who are invisible to so many, and share Jesus with them. They celebrate the children's birthdays. They show the kids something phenomenal: they matter.

And they need art supplies!
If you have anything you can donate, please let me know. Especially needed are foam paper, brads, puff balls, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. Crayons. colored pencils, markers, and glue help too. Contact me if you have anything!


Let your light shine.

  2. I've got more art supplies then I know what to do with! Kidos are art/craft fiends.

    Is there anything I could help with in addition? Packaging it...anything?
