Beautiful Disasters, Inc.
Beautiful Disasters, Inc is an organization dedicated to creating a positive and successful future for inmates, their families and others in low income communities affected by the large number of inmates being released back onto their streets through the use of music and art therapy and vocational training. We intend to do this through uniting already established programs, schools, businesses and others throughout our area in fundraising and awareness spreading events which will not only unite these other like minded individuals, but offer a way for our program participants to earn income, learn a new trade or develop a new skill and have the stability of halfway homes, counselors and mentors to support and encourage them.
