    International digital artist and humanitarian, Michelle Benjamin has given her life to serving others by using her artistic talent to provide much needed funding to those, who have no voice, money or status in the world. The Michelle Benjamin Foundation was born out of the many needs that the artist is faced with when her world collides with those who are disadvantaged, suffering and in dire need.Benjamin’s artistic talent has thus far, made it possible to save rhinos, paid for the education of poor and vulnerable children, made the dreams of terminally ill children come true, helped feed lions in a Ukraine Zoo, provided funds for a safe house and shelter for abused women and children in need, provided funds for a city, devastated by wildfires.The Michelle Benjamin Foundation recently led a delegation to Texas, where she was honored with a citation by Commissioner Rodney Ellis of Harris County, Precinct One, Houston. Commissioner Ellis named December 1 2017, Michelle Benjamin Day. This day will be celebrated yearly in Harris County Precinct One in honor of Michelle Benjamin’s art activism and humanitarianism.The Michelle Benjamin Foundation is currently working on two humanitarian projects, which are, the fine art cushion project, which is raising funds for flood victims of Houston, who were affected by Hurricane Harvey and the Mossel Bay iPad Project, which will provide iPads for children from a poor community, who will be taught digital art by Michelle Benjamin.
