In a time when many veterans are struggling for food and shelter the
purchase of art supplies seems remiss. It is very important to
understand the therapeutic value of art, even art exploration, on mental
wellness. If a few basic art tools can create an opportunity that will
introduce veterans to a medium that can alleviate symptoms of PTSD,
Substance Abuse, Major Depression and other related conditions then it
has value beyond understanding. If art classes can prevent a single
suicide what value can we place on this effort?
Your donations, however small, can help with the success of this program - and perhaps save more than one life.
We are currently canvasing for basic art supplies - sketch books, art
paper, pencil sets, charcoal, erasers, pastels, and drawing pens. These
will be used for free art classes offered to veterans and military
families.
Help us to Help Veterans Heal!
