Free Cartooning Classes for Pediatric Patients!

You Can Help Bring Happiness,

Laughter and Distraction Into The

Lives of Children Facing Difficult

Medical Challenges!

 

"Drawn To Help" has begun visiting hospitals, off-site

locations and camps that specialize in treating young

patients battling tough diseases and challenging life

circumstances.  These visits are completely

free of charge to the pediatric patients, their siblings,

parents and the facilities that are treating them.

 

Each child recieves a free packet of art supplies that

they get to keep after the lessons are done.  That way, they can continue creating their own masterpieces long

after we're gone.

 

As you can imagine, the costs involved in doing this can be quite high.  If you'd like to contribute and be a part

of this wonderful program, please feel free to contact me or take a peek at the "Drawn To Help" page by clicking on the photo above. 

 

How to Arrange A Visit

 

If you are a health care professional, child life specialist, art therapist or part of any organization serving kids

who are undergoing treatment, please get in touch by going to the "Contact" page on this website and sending

me a note.  I'd love to help arrange a visit with the children you are caring for.

 

The lessons involve easy to follow, step by step instructions that even young children can grasp and enjoy.  They'll be encouraged to experiment, change things around and create fun characters of their very own.  Kids love to draw cartoons, and their creations can also help with diagnosis and understanding of where they are emotionally in their process.
