Words hurt. They can also heal.
At New Day, we do everything in our power to improve the lives of at-risk youth. We help put kids on a path towards responsible adulthood. Part of that is encouraging them with positive words, in contrast to the many negative words they may have heard throughout their lives. The Healing Words Project will commission original artwork based on inspirational quotes from you. The artwork will provide positive motivation and affirmation, while raising money for their basic, daily needs.

Healing Words Project Details
Your donation to the Healing Words Project will commission an original work of art from a local artist based on an inspirational quote. These quotes will greet at-risk youth every day for two years, giving them a new perspective on life. Once the two years are up, the artwork is yours to keep, or you may choose to make another donation and have it displayed for an additional two years. All proceeds raised will provide for critical needs for at-risk youth. But most importantly, your donations will provide hope for kids who desperately need it.
Our Many Thanks
Once your artwork is completed, you will receive a framed photograph of your original work of art and a personal thank you from the director of New Day. Once all the pieces are sold, we will hold a special reception for donors, thanking you for your support. There you will have the opportunity to meet the youth whose lives you're helping improve.
