Soapstone carving kit for Alex to make gifts for family and friends
Posted Apr 1, 2024
Alex is a creative young man who finds creating art with soapstone very relaxing and therapeutic. He wants to carve figures to give to family and friends for their birthdays and holidays. He likes this craft because he can make the carvings on his own and at home and share his talent by gifting them to others.
Alex is 14 years old and lives in NY
Alex has survived an incredibly traumatic childhood. He lived with his dad, and they were very close and had a wonderful relationship. Alex's dad was a first responder after Hurricane Katrina. His back was badly injured when he fell through two stories. Painkillers led to drug use that resulted in an overdose where Alex, seven at the time, found him, called his grandma, and he was saved. Tragically, Alex's dad overdosed again while in rehab, and it was fatal. Alex is now living safely with his uncle. Alex is a creative young man who loves animals, the outdoors, and photography. He loves to draw, build with Legos, and build model cars. He loves soapstone carving and charcoal drawing.
