Meet two of the artists
It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and have potential criticism about your art project. We try to teach our young clients how to be vulnerable, present and connect to people in their community. We are proud of these kids for putting themselves out there and giving this art project a chance.

Here are two of the talented artists that have participated in this art project and will be at the Art Show on Thursday evening!
Ignacio
In order to know who I am one must know where I began. About 12 years ago, I was put into foster care twice. I’m not in foster care anymore but that doesn’t change the fact that it happened. Anyway, since then I have seen the world differently. Of course, other tragedies still have happened. About 2 years ago my mother passed away. I have moved on since then but regardless, grief is one hell of a thing. Doesn’t meant her memory is lost to me, of course. I still think about her. But even through all the ‘fun’ things that have happened in my life, I still moved through it all. Regardless how bad things may get, and things will get bad, I promise you some people have it a lot worse than you. So, that is my story

Ana
Hi, I’m Ana. I have been with Aldea/ADAPT for nearly 2 years. In that time, I’ve changed a lot from the person I used to be. I now have friends, I love school and I got to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York City this past April with the Vintage High Choir. I have been drawing all my life to help cope with my issues, but this has been my first time really delving into painting. I love nature and animals, so I focused on expressing those in the painting.

HOLIDAY GIFT CARD ROUNDUP
For our clients, gift cards provide opportunity to have a holiday meal for a family or helping a parent buy gifts for children. A great source of pride for many parents is to shop for their children’s holiday gifts. This is not a holiday reality for some families living paycheck to paycheck.
