10-Year-Old Girl Delivers 1,500 Art Kits to Kids in Homeless Shelters and Foster Care Homes

"This made me so sad," Chelsea recalled to the outlet.

Chelsea first started making the art kits ahead of her birthday party last summer after constantly asking her parents if she could do something, according to"Chelsea always had a strong desire to start a charity and asked us about it from the time she was only 5 years old," her mother Candace Phaire told the outlet. "When she got a little older, my husband and I said yes."

From there, Chelsea fell in love with helping others and decided she wanted to continue donating the art kits. "I think if every child had access to art supplies, it would make the world a much better place," she added toThen in March, the pandemic hit. Chelsea, however, only saw it as an opportunity to do more. With the help of her mom, Chelsea made close to 1,500 kits, which were sent to children in need across 12 different states, according to the outlet.

Since beginning their efforts, the Phaire family, who once paid for all the shipping costs, has set up a PayPal account to pay for the postage fees. While it's been incredibly rewarding for Chelsea, those on the receiving end of her efforts have also said her fundraiser has made a huge impact on the lives of the children, especially since art therapy programs have been canceled amid the pandemic.
