Hello AFTHAS Family,
We have waited a long time in order to announce that we are finally, completely tax exempt. This opens up so many doors for us as an organization and gives us limitless opportunities to grow.
Our Mission:
Art For the HeArt and Soul is a nonprofit organization 501 (3)(c) that helps people heal through art. We understand that everyone's situation is different and because of this, the type help we offer will vary. We want everyone to know they are not alone and we care. One of our goals is to help people build self confidence and self worth. We feel strongly that this can be done through art therapy and by becoming part of a supportive community. We want to help people in hopes they will one day be in a situation where they can pay if forward and make a difference in someone else's life.
We will now be able to carry out and fulfill our mission which makes my heart smile. We now have the opportunity to help a specific group such as veterans dealing with ptsd. We can also help anyone in need of therapy by possibly providing a venue and art therapist to those who would benefit from these services. We can help give back to our community and watch it grow while work hand in hand with it's locals in need or locals that want to help and give back.
I hope that you can see the endless possibilities and why we are so excited. This is what we have been waiting for, for over a year. In the past we helped where we could and when we could. We will now build our own facilities and programs that can help everyone around us at all times. Our help should not and will not be conditional from this point forward.
The board will be meeting next Wednesday June 24th to discuss where we currently are and start building a plan on how we will grow and procedure in the future. Please feel free to give us your feedback. Your opinions matter and gives us and idea on who to best serve the you and the community.
Thank you for being part of this wonderful organization and I look forward to working with each and everyone of you while we build this organization into a magnificent tool that helps others.
All my love,
Tina
