G.I.R.L.S. Glow Up

Giving Hope, Inspiration, Resilience, Love, and Support

Our Mission

At G.I.R.L.S., we believe every teenage girl facing illness deserves to feel seen, valued, and empowered.  Led by Hannah Small, a dedicated Project Coordinator and local Ahwatukee student, our mission is to bring comfort, joy, and strength to girls ages 13–18 during their hospital stays by delivering personalized care packages filled with love and hope. From cozy blankets to inspiring journals, we’re here to brighten their days and remind them they’re not alone.

About the G.I.R.L.S. Glow Up Campaign

Launched in June 2025, the G.I.R.L.S. Glow Up campaign, led by Hannah Small, a passionate Ahwatukee student, aims to deliver 500 care packages to teen girls in hospitals across the Greater Phoenix area. Each package is thoughtfully curated with self-care essentials, inspirational gifts, and handwritten notes to uplift young souls during challenging times. Through social media storytelling, community partnerships, and your support, we’re building a movement to empower girls to glow, even in the toughest moments.

This program builds on the success of our Armer Cares initiative, which provides comfort items like toys, blankets, and toiletries to hospitalized kids. Cards for Caring adds an emotional touch, ensuring every child feels loved and supported, aligning perfectly with our mission to ease the financial and emotional burdens of families facing extreme medical conditions.

What’s in a Care Package?

Our care packages are designed to spark joy and resilience, including items like:

  • Cozy Comforts: Fuzzy socks, small blankets, etc
  • Self-Care Essentials: Face masks, lip balm, skincare sets, etc
  • Inspiration: Journals, colorful pens, affirmation cards, uplifting books, etc

Personal Touches: Handwritten notes of encouragement

Glow Up campaign is on a mission to deliver 500 personalized care packages to teenage girls (ages 13–18) in Greater Phoenix hospitals. Each package is a bundle of comfort, joy, and empowerment—filled with cozy essentials, self-care items, and heartfelt notes to remind these young women they are strong and loved. With your support, we can reach 500 girls, sparking 500 smiles and countless moments of hope. Join us to make this goal a reality!
