NORWALK, Conn. (WTNH) — During National Volunteer Week, we met an extraordinary 7th Grader from Danbury.

For the last two years, Chelsea Phaire made deliveries by mail, but now, she’s back in person.

“For my 10th birthday, instead of asking for presents, I asked for art supplies,” she said.

Lots of supplies — enough to make art kits for others.

“We have a canvas, adult coloring books, regular sketch pads,” she said, pulling items out of a drawstring bag.

This idea became Chelsea’s Charity. The 12-year-old donated more than 20,000 art kits around the globe to help people heal after trauma.
