Hand Drawn Hope was inspired by a high school student with a passion for art and a concern for the growing mental health crisis in the US. Our nonprofit is dedicated to promoting mental health aid and awareness through visual arts, as well as using art as a healthy emotional outlet for creative minds.

Research shows people who lack or struggle to acquire basic necessities are more likely to develop mental health problems than those who do not. Through our fundraising, we create care packages for children and their families that include these necessities (such as hygiene products, food, and water) to relieve some of the stress that weighs on them. Also included in these packages are visual art supplies for children (coloring books, paint, pencils, paper, canvases) to function as an outlet emotional outlet to promote better mental health.
