Where Gifts Like Yours Go

Six months after the Maui wildfires, 23 survivors gathered in a community center to paint messages of hope for earthquake survivors in Morocco. The art supplies, facilitator training, and shipping costs were covered by gifts like yours—people who believe healing shouldn't stop when the cameras leave.

"I didn't know what to say to my own family about what we lost. But somehow, painting for strangers who understand—that felt possible."
