Project Gives Something Back to Families of Slain Soldiers
In 2003, Kaziah Hancock from Manti, Utah recognized that there was a real need to give something back to the families of American soldiers killed in the line of duty. Hancock decided that the best way she could do something was to take her talents as an oil-painter and turn them into keepsake memorials to provide to the families at no charge. This original personal endeavor has expanded into an organization known as Project Compassion. The project features paintings by a select group of professional artists who volunteer their talent, and who are accepted into the project baseed on professional merit and humanitarian philosophy. The project receives between 6-8 requests per month for paintings, each of which takes approximately 2 months to complete.
I think it’s extremely touching to see a small cohort of people with so much drive, passion and talent pour it into a project to give a grieving family a little piece of their loved one back, and perhaps maybe even a small moment of peace.
-Beautiful. I applaud your efforts.
I have one question as well. My dear friend was widowed 3 months after her husband returned from Iraq. Her husband had completed his third term abroad, yet fate took him in a tragic boating accident at home. I would like to mention Project Compassion to my friend if she would be eligible for a painting. Please reply.
That was beautiful. You must have worked hard on this website! Good luck in the the future!
