"My experience with Portraits of Hope has been extremely gratifying. It has been heart-warming to witness the children in the hospital participate in an educational, socialization and self-expressive experience... the creative aspect and the recognition that their art is valued has enormous healing benefits. I feel truly honored to have played a part in Portraits of Hope.”
