Danbury, Connecticut. Chelsea Phaire might only be 10-years-old, but she’s proving that you’re never too young to make a big difference.
This young girl from Danbury, Connecticut, creates art kits to help children living in foster care and shelters.
For her 10th birthday party last August, Chelsea insisted she didn’t want any birthday presents.
Instead, she asked all of her partygoers to bring various art supplies, because this is what she had in mind.

Chelsea gathered up all the supplies her guests brought; colored pencils, markers, crayons, and paper.
She put them all together and made 40 different art kits.
She then took them to a homeless shelter in New York, so she could personally pass them around to children.
Chelsea was so moved by how happy she made children in need, and from there, Chelsea’s Charity was born.

On her website, it says, “Chelsea started out wanting to provide her homemade art kits to children that may not have access to art supplies or children that have gone through a traumatic experience.”
“She wants to help support the social-emotional development of as many children as possible because “art is start!” Chelsea assembles art kits for children with various supplies donated to her throughout the year and includes a personal note from Chelsea in each kit.”
That’s not all Chelsea does…

Chelsea also enjoys teaching art lessons to other children.
So far, Chelsea has been able to donate thousands of art kits to children throughout America living in homeless shelters or foster care.
She wants to be able to donate more kits so she can continue to help support the social-emotional development and mental health of other children.
