Hey Kids!
Do you like to color, draw, or paint?
Do you have HPE or does someone you love have HPE? If so, Families for HoPE would love to have one of your original masterpieces. You can draw whatever you feel like drawing.
After we receive your drawing, we will display some of the drawings on the Families for HoPE website. Also, if you don't mind, we might share your drawing with others by making a copy of your drawing and sending it to an HPE friend or sibling who is sick, in the hospital, or just needs a little something to make them smile.
If you want to send Families for HoPE a drawing you've made, here's what you need to do:
1. Ask your mom or dad for an envelope big enough to hold your drawing.
2. Address the envelope to:
Families for HoPE, Inc.
1219 N. Wittfield Street
Indianapolis, IN 46229
3. Don't forget to add your name and return address!
4. If you want to include a letter with your drawing, we love to read letters from our families!
5. Ask mom or dad to help you mail your drawing. (Don't forget the stamp!)
We can't wait to see and share all of these great drawings from such talented artists!
