The Road to Healing
By Dr. Shaquetta Barden | Executive Director
The Self-Care project is rooted in the mission of supporting young ladies who have experienced abuse by encouraging healing through self-love and intentional care. Understanding that the path to self-worth can be challenging, this initiative aims to uplift and empower participants by providing care packages filled with essentials and thoughtful items that promote mental, emotional, and physical wellness.
We are still purchaing project items and we are still accepting donations. A total of 25 care packages have been assembled thus far. Items include journals, affirmations, hygiene products, cozy items (e.g., socks, blankets), and wellness resources. We are planning to do a distribution station in the coming weeks to access more girls that could benefit from our self-care packages.
We thank you to each and everyone of our supporters. We could not do what we do, if your generousity didn't exist. Please continue to share our organizations project. We appreciate your love and support.
Thank you,
G.I.R.L. Power

The road to healing is no easy one. Healing is a unique journey that no one has to do alone. While the internal work needs to be a one on one experience, reaching the goal can be with those that support you in the best way emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
These packages are tailored to the needs of the recipients, but they include:
- Personalized Healing Tools: Journals, affirmations, and mindfulness coloring books.
- Comfort Items: Cozy socks, blankets, or stress-relief toys (e.g., fidget spinners or stress balls).
- Self-Care Products: Bath bombs, soothing lotions, candles, or essential oils.
- Educational Resources: Booklets on coping strategies, emotional well-being, and mental health.
- Encouraging Messages: Notes of hope and encouragement from other volunteer to let the recipients know they are not alone.
- Resource sheet: Therapist, counselors, support groups, mentoring programs etc.
All of these factors have assisted in ensuring that our care packages are most impactful to all youth. Thank you all for your doantions and support. We are extremely greatful to have other believe in our vision and goal for this project.
Please feel free to share our project with others, and continue to donate.

Peace and Love Family,
We hope all is well. With so much going on in our world right now, we want to make sure our mental is stable. This looks different for everyone because we're all different and experiencing difference battles in our life and mind. So, remember to be kind not just to others but to yourself. Kindness goes a long way and can save a life.
This project was struggling at first, but the support has picked up tremendously and we truly from the bottom of our hearts, appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you for trusting in our ability to be able to provide care packages to youth who have experienced any type of abuse. Small and big gestures go a long way. The power of love and support is huge to those that need it during that time.
We still have donations coming in, but we are searching for all of our items that we need to order to curate our care packages. There is still many things that need to be found. We still need more help. Our packages will include items that will assist youth with not just dealing with the trauma that can come from abuse, but also the acknowledgment which is one of the biggest set backs for survivors of abuse. We look forward to serving those that we can and want to thank our supporters for allowing us to be used as vessels to those in need. Thank you so much. Please continue to donate and share with those you know.
Peace Family,
G.I.R.L. Power
