Craft with me is an effort to bring fun and creativity to children. The kids receive art supplies in the mail that are then used for zoom art classes. Crafting is a great way for kids to use their imagination while providing a therapeutic component.
Hi. My name is Caroline. I am 14 years old and entering ninth grade. I am very passionate about helping people and watching the children create my art projects brings me such joy. Craft with Me is so rewarding because it has created a platform that allows me to impact children in a positive way.
