Kids Paint for Kids
Our goal is to enable all kids to help fellow kids in need turn their lives around through the power of art
In our busy everyday lives, art is one the best outlets for managing anxiety, and stress, as well as just self-expression. Through Kids Paint for Kids, this art can not only benefit its creator but can empower children to have that same opportunity.

ABOUT USThe Why Behind It
Hello, I'm Myrah! I founded "Kids Paint for Kids", with a belief that every child deserves the chance to express their emotions, have beneficial opportunities, and enjoy a bright future. That's why I've created a platform where kids can express their creativity through various forms of art like painting, and sculpting! We then auction these paintings, and donate the proceeds to SavingTeens, an organization that helps children struggling with anxiety, addictions, and depression.
Teen overdose death rates are higher than ever, and the stigma associated with addiction is costing lives. So many teens in difficult situations from mental health to home life experience substance abuse and often times don’t have the resources to make a change and turn their lives around
Not many people really consider this a cause for charity but I really believe it is. Addiction is technically an illness and should be treated as such, the belief that addiction is a teenager's complete choice is incredibly wrong and people from all walks of life experience substance abuse, and it isn’t always obvious
Let’s work to help these kids turn their lives around!

How It Works
Community is key. Not only is painting fun, but everyone can do it by being one of the most accessible activities, paintings can come from virtually anyone. All you have to do is have a fun afternoon crafting and then you can donate it to us! we can either pick it up if you're short on time, or you can drop it off!
Community Engagement
These creations can be simple, or intricate and can be donated by anyone. They are then showcased and auctioned online, and at events for anyone to enjoy. You can always buy back your own painting 😉
Art Into Impact
We take the donated paintings and turn them into treasures. Through carefully curated auctions, we connect these artistic expressions with interested parties who recognize the value of supporting our cause. These auctions not only raise funds but also create a bridge between the creators and the supporters, forming a community bound by a shared appreciation for art and a commitment to making a difference by donating the proceeds to organizations helping kids struggling with drug addiction get the rehab they need.
