Strive not to be a success,

Our Vision

We're here to do more than help

We strive to facilitate the artistic expression of underserved kids and youth while also providing medical education, training, and resources to the communities we work with

Our vision is a world where kids have a constructive, creative outlet and their communities have access to the medical care they deserve

Our Organizational Mission

Diverse yet related...
And always valuable

Medical Education and Supply Donations

We provide structured didactic education and hands-on training to those who find it meaningful and impactful to their lives along with medical supplies for their use

Telehealth Systems and Access to Care

Our model incorporates furthering not only the provision of medical care at the local level, but includes providing telehealth system setup when appropriate

Photography Education and Camera Donations

We love to get the local youth involved; we offer photography and creative arts education to impart ways of healthy self expression through a fun and creative outlet
