"The Bennett Box was born out of a moment where I didn’t know how I could help — until I remembered who I am at my core: an artist. On my first deployment responding to a disaster, I realized quickly that I couldn’t rebuild houses, but I could give something real — a way to cope, to express, to breathe. Art saved me more than once, and I know what a simple set of markers or some blank paper can do for a kid with a storm inside them. So I created a kit full of supplies. markers, crayons, sketch paper — tools that can spark imagination, calm chaos, and remind a child that their voice still matters. That’s why The Bennett Box exists: because creativity can be therapy, hope, and home all at once." - Bennett Rambo
Bennett Rambo is a contemporary neo-expressionist painter whose work channels raw emotion, honesty, and resilience. Entirely self-taught, he paints from lived experience, layering color, texture, and symbolism to create works that pulse with energy and authenticity. Rambo’s art is deeply personal yet universally relatable, touching on themes of courage, struggle, faith, and the relentless push to keep moving forward. Each painting becomes a vessel for storytelling — where chaos meets clarity, and vulnerability transforms into strength. More than just images, his works are extensions of himself: fragments of memory, grit, and spirit woven into canvas and paper. Driven by the belief that art should connect on a human level, Rambo invites collectors and viewers alike to feel the heartbeat within each piece — a reminder that perseverance and passion can never be silenced.
Each Bennett Box is thoughtfully packed with creative essentials designed to bring comfort, joy, and a sense of normalcy to children affected by natural disasters. Inside every box, kids will find a set of vibrant markers, crayons, a pencil and sharpener, a paint set with a small canvas for free expression, fun stickers, a mini coloring book, and a glue stick with child-safe scissors. These simple but meaningful tools provide a creative escape, spark imagination, and help children process their emotions through art—reminding them that even in the toughest moments, hope and creativity can shine bright. Supplies used for Bennett Boxes are purchased by donors from the our Amazon Wish List.
