Some art supplies for Alan to use his art as a coping mechanism

Posted Jul 20, 2023
Alan is new to foster care and has had a tough time before, being homeless with no guardian. But he's discovered a love for art and it's really helping him deal with things. It would be amazing if we could help him get some new art supplies so he can keep creating and using art as a way to cope.

Alan is 16 years old and lives in CA

When Alan came into the foster care system, he came with only the clothes he was wearing. Unfortunately, he has experienced homelessness and didn't have anyone to look after him. Even though he sometimes stayed with acquaintances, he didn't receive proper care. Despite all of these challenges, he's an incredibly strong person and always shows kindness and respect towards others. Alan has big dreams for his future and he's determined to achieve great things in life.
