Our friends in Colorado – husband and wife duo, Aaron & Rupal Deitz – recently made and delivered about 50 Art Kits to families and children displaced by the recent Colorado wildfires. The fires destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and forced tens of thousands to evacuate in Boulder County, Colorado. You can more read about the devastation here.
Our volunteer friends knew of families affected by the fires, who lost their homes in Superior and Louisville, CO and wanted to help their community! We sent them all the art supplies and instructions to make the Art Kits. Then, they passed out the Art Kits personally at Superior Elementary School on Saturday, January 15th.
Rupal Deitz, MSN, C-PNP – a local Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Children's Hospital Colorado, an amazing mother and friend – spearheaded the initiative, organized the distribution spot, and promoted the drop, reaching out to local organizations to help spread the word! With sincere gratitude, we say THANK YOU!
