Strange Kids Club was founded in the spirit of living in a childhood full of monster, comic books, cartoons and video games forever and ever. So when I first heard about this story making it's way across the internets it really struck a chord with me on a personal level. Here's a kid who not only has a condition beyond his control and yet he's found a way to deal with it through his art and an imagination full of monsters, mutants and madmen.The story of Aiden, as described on his blog, is one of an extraordinary 5 year old boy whose love for all things scary has endowed him with a passion for monsters, clowns, drawing, and dressing up in costume all year round. He also has a condition known as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and though he's been resilient through his chemo treatments thus far he's still got a few years left to go.
Aiden's Monsters is a way that he and his family has found to turn Adrian's love of monsters and scary things into an way in which you and I can help pay Aiden's massive medical bills. If you'd like to purchase one of Aiden's artworks or simply offer a donation or kind words, please visit Aiden's Etsy shop and help see that a fellow monster kid can grow up to share his vision and enthusiasm with the world.
