Get involved with charity for parents of deceased infants
Joyce Powers swiftly but gently removed a stack of decorated boxes from a plastic grocery bag, displaying the adorned lids. On one, a yellow puppy crouched playfully toward a red ball; on another, a white rose spread across like a cloud.
“That took me about four to five hours,” Powers said of the rose, which she hand painted onto the box.
Powers, a Kettle Falls resident, loves to paint, and has put her passion to good use. These boxes aren’t just a hobby, or a way to make a profit from her talent. Powers is part of the Memory Box Artist Program, a nationwide, volunteer effort to provide painted boxes for families of infants that pass away in the hospital, so that the families do not leave without some representation of the child’s life. |
