Mallory Holler and Morgan
Stoddard are all about empowering themselves and exerting their independence.
These two young women, one with Down Syndrome and one legally deaf and blind
and in a wheelchair, took their own personal power and decided “I’m going to
get a tattoo and help We Care Arts!” at our Arts and Drafts event.
Justin Woleslagle from Truvium
Tattoo in Centerville OH was so happy and thrilled to have the honor of
creating both Mallory and Morgan’s first tattoos!
And these are 2 very interesting
ladies. Mallory recently graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor’s
in Rehabilitative Services. She is now on staff here at We Care Arts after
working her WSU internship with us. She feels very strongly about advocating
for accessibility for those with disabilities.
Morgan has been coming to WCA
since graduating from high school. She has started her own business at www.aunt-M-designs.com, where she
designs and sells t-shirts to various organizations. She also loves coming to
our Art Café program on Tuesday night, where young people do art and have a
great time every week!
All of our fundraising events,
like Arts and Drafts, support Art Café and all of our other programs.
We want to thank Trivium, DLG Tattoo from Jeanette PA, and
Ryan Hadley from Fort Wayne IN for their donation of over $1500 from the tattoo
fees at our event. Artists helping artists! Awesome!!
