Daniela and Michelle Luis are delighted with 'The Incredible Michelle' poster created by Manilla-based volunteer artist Jeanne Pido.
When nine-year-old Michelle Luis was bullied at school, mom Daniela knew she had to help. She sent out the signal to the Superhero Project and their 'League of Extraordinary Artists' who volunteer to draw children who are ill or living with special needs as the superheroes of their imaginations.
She knew her daughter needed a boost. Michelle, who lives with cerebral palsy and uses mobility aids, had been bullied by kids at school. She had hidden it from her mother for months. Daniela says her school offered good support to Michelle, but that Daniela could see Michelle's self-confidence was low.
Lisa Kollins, drawn here by artist Marietta Delene, founded the Superhero Project in 2017. Since then the non-profit organization has created nearly 1,000 posters for kids and their families with the help of more than 450 artists.
