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.
