Stars of HOPE is a global healing program that creates hope and peace in communities around the world. We believe that art can help people heal from tragedy, trauma, and loss by bringing beauty and expression to their lives.We are pioneering a new paradigm at the intersection of disaster relief, mental health, and therapeutic art by delivering into impacted communities painted stars with messages of hope. These Stars serve as beacons for light in dark places when there is no other form of communication left – they give voice to those who have been silenced; they offer comfort where there has been suffering; they provide strength where there was weakness.The Stars we paint together tell stories through colors, words, symbols - about what it means to create hope.Our mission is to provide hope for those who have none. We use creativity as a tool to help people process their pain—whether they struggle with addiction or depression after natural disasters or loss or want to express themselves creatively. By mobilizing volunteers from all over the world, Stars of HOPE has built more than 180,000 colorful handcrafted stars so far that are sent across America and around the world as symbols of hope and comfort during times when it's needed most.Stars of HOPE® is a registered trademark of New York Says Thank You Foundation.
