Why We Do It
Life is Messy! Our current landscape is overwhelmed with pain and brokenness. We are faced with a young generation that increasingly struggles with addiction, mental health, self-harm, depression, and other serious challenges.
“Kids are in desperate need to know they are loved”
How We Help
As we share the hard parts of our story, the “walls” come down and young people realize they are not alone in their daily battles. This paves the way for them to design and express their most heavy thoughts - when words are hard to find.
“Its okay not to be okay”
a Safe Place to share your story
Their designs are full of hidden messages (behavior/trauma identifiers) - secret signs showing how they want help. We use fun and creative ways to encourage kids who really need to know they are heard, understood, and LOVED!
“Where there is purpose, there is hope”
