"To be able to see the light in their eyes when they come out of their room feeling clean and looking clean, it's so refreshing because we can see how much of a difference these donations make to their day-to-day stay in the hospital. To us, some of those items seem like 'no big deal,' however, to these kids, it's what can help provide them with dignity and comfort." - Psychiatric Hospital Staff Member
Many of the patients we serve are Black children in dire situations. They may be in foster care, or they have a kinship caregiver stepping in after a parent lost custody. These transitions, between hospitals, foster care, and group homes, mean they are more likely to receive prison-grade products that do not make them feel confident or clean.
Every psychiatric patient has the right to feel clean. Give the gift of normalcy and give the gift of home this holiday season. We need your support in donating a $50 Black Beauty Supply Kit made by Hairizon. This includes body wash, shampoo, hair oil, and conditioner. And there's no pressure to give. Simply sharing our campaign can remove stigma, so patients are treated with the care they deserve.
