Nikon camera bundle set for Phoenix who likes to express himself in creative ways

Posted May 22, 2020
During this current health crisis, Phoenix hasn't been able to express his artistic self the way he usually can through performance. He has tried poetry and sketching, however what he have enjoyed the most is photography. Up until now, he has been trying to perfect his craft using his camera phone, but upgrading to a real camera would help Phoenix better his skills in photography, give him another artistic outlet, and help him connect more with people in the community who have the same passion.

Phoenix is 24 years old and lives in OR

Phoenix spent 14 years in the Oregon foster care system before aging out without any lifetime supports. He lived in 13 different homes, all across the state, during his years in care. Now, Phoenix is attending Southern Oregon University where he is pursuing a Theater Arts degree. Despite the struggles he had while in care, he graduated high school with honors, got into his top choice of college, and started advocating for youth in care through Oregon Foster Youth Connection, National Foster Youth Institute, and FosterClub. He loves volunteering and one of his main goals in life is to eventually have his own theater company that would help foster youth and other opportunity youth, by using theater as a way of mental healing.
