Hello,
My name is Jordan Hopp. I am a seventh grade student at Horace Mann School. I also attend Temple Isaiah Religious School, and will be having my Bar Mitzvah on May 12, 2012. In preparation for my Bar Mitzvah, I am doing a “mitzvah project” in which I’m attempting to give back by doing good deeds. Since I was very young, I have had a true passion for art, and for this reason, I wanted to incorporate art into my mitzvah project in some way.
I recently learned of the Artists Program at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This program provides art, music, writing, and dance therapy to children who are often in the hospital for long periods of time. These programs help these children feel like kids while they are going through a very hard time.
Since I cannot work directly with the kids because of my young age, I will be helping the program indirectly by doing a donation drive for art supplies. The Artists Program does not receive any money from the hospital itself and is run only on donations and by volunteers.
My goal is to collect as many art supplies as possible for this wonderful program, and to help put a smile on these children’s faces.
I hope you can help!
Thank You,
Jordan
