About LifeUnfolded
LifeUnfolded is a non-profit organization founded on the principles
that all children have a chance to succeed, if given the opportunity
to discover their own strengths. The organization is made of
professional artists who have found and succeeded by utilizing their
own creative strengths, and have dedicated their lives to finding that
strength in foster children who's next step in life is to build the
next generation. Transitional-aged foster children are the most
over-looked and under-nurtured of all children who remain in the
foster system. Since they are beginning their lives as citizens and
contributors to the community- it is of urgency to guide them toward
success. For more information regarding this cause, visit their
