Art supplies for Kylie who uses creativity as a form of healing

Posted Aug 13, 2024
Kylie finds happiness in the thought of receiving new art supplies. Her dedication to using art as a means of creative expression and a therapeutic outlet is truly inspiring. She is passionate about leveraging her artistic talents to bring the healing benefits of art to the community, particularly for those coping with trauma and grief. By being able to acquire new art mediums, Kylie envisions furthering her personal artistic growth and making a positive impact within the community. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for an epic shopping trip! This is wish 2 of 2.

Kylie is 43 years old and lives in CO

Kylie and her sister entered foster care after losing their father to suicide and enduring physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect by their mother. They were eventually placed with their paternal uncle. She and her sister went on to be the first in their family to graduate from both high school and college. Kylie went on to work in the social services field, helping others be safe and successful. Kylie's 9-year-old daughter was killed in 2019 in an egregious event, and she has one surviving daughter. Kylie loves art and nature as healing modalities in her grief.

Thank you for evolving beyond the scarcity mindset and thank you for assisting my artist endeavors. "
