Helena, 13 years old, PA | 16 DAYS WAITING

Mazi Adoption and Family Services

Helena entered foster care as a newborn. At just four days old, she was placed with her adoptive family, where she has remained ever since. Helena is a bright, outgoing young person who brings positivity wherever she goes. She naturally forms connections with others and is known for her kindness and willingness to help anyone in need. Helena is not only friendly and compassionate but also has a sharp memory and strong intelligence, which help her excel in many areas of her life. Her resilience and caring nature make her a truly special individual.

While Helena is bright, social, and caring, she sometimes finds it challenging to fully express her deeper thoughts and emotions through words alone. Art has become a meaningful outlet for her, a way to process her feelings, explore her identity, and tell her story in a creative and safe space. Helena wishes for an art kit that would give her the tools she needs to continue using art as a form of self-expression, emotional regulation, and confidence-building. With her natural creativity and thoughtful nature, having access to art materials would not only support her emotional well-being but also help her feel empowered and seen.
