The KindRed Hearts Raise $100k for Foster Children
Donation protected
Unite NOW with Radical Creatives & Loving Leaders impacting brave girls aged 11-18 who are starting a new life after experiencing severe abuse or neglect.
Together with YOU, we are raising $100k for Upbring, a nonprofit working to elevate and heal our communities. Upbring is focused on increasing child wellness, vitality and safety through foster, adoption, and residential programs for trauma survivors.
Part of our funding will go towards creating a large, powerful & inspirational mural at Upbring's New Life Children's Center to encourage these girls' hearts and minds as they transition to safety and stability in a loving group center, to eventual foster families, adoption or adulthood. The remainder of the funds raised will go directly to Upbring.
Our efforts and YOUR contribution to this mission is backed by our partner Upbring, a powerhouse non-profit organization with 138 years successfully linking children and families in Texas.
Our request is that you make a specific $ contribution aligned with your heart, your individual means and passion for this world.
Last, please share with friends and family and others that want to support transgenerational ripples from these girls to the next!!
More about the mural specifics below:



This concept was developed for 3 powerful reasons. The girls were given a questionnaire asking a variety of questions.
If you could paint, what would it be? One said, "I'd paint all the way up to heaven..." and another wrote "I imagine my family back together playing games, and just being together in nature."
Part of the recovery theme at the center is self-love, self-care and being loved unconditionally by others. There is a Princess concept currently part of a Vision, that is, girls are born powerful and unique. They don't become Princess, they are born that way and always will be.
Our resident artists on the team put this in a creative blender and this is the resulting magic.
Each time one of the girls walks into the building, they get grounded in the present and the future, looking forward with a heart of possibilities.
