Hardrocks to Gems 8/27 Event
The Orphaned Earring will be bringing a day of fun, reflection and love to the first orphanage in Los Angeles, Maryvale. Rockera and social good advocate Maria Castellon will be sharing her life experiences as a way to inspire girls living in the residential treatment center to dream big and aim high! Castellon will be helping the girls build an inspiration board as a way to help them see beyond their hardship, set goals and dream big, just as her own inspiration board keeps her grounded and empowered.
We need your help! Our young girls (ages 8-18) need items that you can donate:
Beach towels
Flip flops
Toiletries
Hair products
Sunscreen
This is a simple, yet impactful way that you can show love and compassion to girls that have been abandoned by their parents and families. You can also send cash so we can shop the items for you, via Paypal: donation@theorphanedearring.com
