"My best friend recently lost his father and has used his artistic expression to cope with his grief. Now, he's planning to get his MSW and pursue a career in art therapy to help others process their traumas in the same way. I wanted to gift these art supplies to you on his behalf, in hopes that they will bring you the same comfort and joy. I admire your perseverance and love for your daughter. Sending you support and strength today and always. "
