For years now, drawchange, Inc has been such a blessing to the families at Nicholas House, Inc. Their main role has been providing Nick's Activity Hour activities to the children while freeing our parents to participate in the weekly Adult Education classes. drawchange, Inc has proven to be not only dependable and punctual but actually fun as well. Children if all ages, including teen boys, have enjoyed their programs so dearly that they would often ask on unscheduled drawchange days, "Is drawchange coming today?" We were especially grateful and proud of drawchange, Inc's tenacity and creativity during the fall of 2021 as they continued to serve the children at our facility incorporating weekend outside activities. Once the weather was no longer conducive for outside activities, this troop of precious soldiers braved the inside by masking up, sanitizing often, taking temps, and social distancing. Our staff and families did the same creating a safe space for all!To sum things up..... drawchange, Inc has become an intregal part of Nicholas House Inc's weekly programs. We really appreciate each team member and look forward to continuing this relationship for many more years to come....Thanks Miss Jennie and the drawchange team!
I am so blown away by this organization and the selflessness of it's founder, Jennie Lobato. I am a firm believer in the power of art therapy and I am glad to know there is an organization who puts this into practice for children who might never have access to, yet deeply need encouragement and intellectual stimulation. Second to shelter and food, I believe that drawchange is meeting vital needs of children without guaranteed homes and stability. Those who volunteer also receive amazing personal and emotional benefits by witnessing the change in these kids.
This organization is working.
