Read MoreI happen to be the pastor of Burlingame United Methodist, where the Kids & Art office is now located. I also happen to be a practicing artist and writer who has often worked with kids making art.

When I met Purvi, heard about the loss of her son and how she founded Kids & Art to honor her son and find a positive expression for her loss, I knew that she had a special calling and work not undertaken by others, so I did all I could to get her a good space in our building. That happened, and she and I have become colleagues and friends.
