enCourage Kids Foundation’s Mission:
enCourage Kids Foundation helps humanize healthcare for children and their families by resourcing impact-driven pediatric programs and supporting the child life community. We envision a world where every child – regardless of the difficulty of his or her medical journey – experiences joy, hope, resilience, and healing.
How Your Donation Will Help:
Your generosity will help to make the hospital a better place for nearly one million children and their families nationwide. GWGWG is raising money for the enCourage Kids Bear, aka “Teddy” as the kids affectionately call him. Teddy is sent into the arms of children in the hospital nationwide. Teddy has a wide breadth of benefits for pediatric patients. The Bear serves as an item of familiarity, offering comfort and a hand to hold while in a clinical environment, which has been especially impactful during this time of heightened isolation for kids. Child life specialists also use the bear as a tool for medical play, showing kids medical procedures and equipment in a way that won’t scare them. This helps to ease kids’ stress and anxiety during their hospital stay and teach them about what they will encounter and experience. Each enCourage Kids Bear comes individually wrapped and sealed to meet the infection control standards.
Your gift enables enCourage Kids to meet the evolving needs of our hospital partners and the pediatric patients in their care. With support that offers comfort, therapeutic distraction, joy, and education, you will help to alleviate the fear, stress, and loneliness of children coping with illness, diagnosis, and trauma experience while in the hospital.
GWGWG’s goal is to raise enough money for 100 bears to be given to 100 children. The bears are $25 each so we have a goal for $2,500.

Bottomless Closet Mission:
Bottomless Closet’s mission to inspire and guide disadvantaged New York City women to enter the workforce and achieve success. We pursue this mission through the provision of interview coaching, resume preparation and professional outfitting services as well as an ongoing series of workshops centered around three core pillars: Financial Management, Professional Development and Personal Enrichment. Since 1999, we have worked with over 40,000 women. Our programs deliver proven impact: 58% of Bottomless Closet clients are hired right away and 98% cite our programs as the key to their success.
How Your Donation Will Help:
In September 2020 alone, 860,000 women dropped out of the workforce – four times more than their male counterparts – and we know from experience that the longer these women are unemployed, the harder re-entry will be.
At GWGWG we are raising money for 3 laptops. Right before the pandemic hit, GWGWG was able to donate 2 laptops to Bottomless Closet which wound up helping BC immensely as they transitioned to offering their programs virtually in March of 2020. As a result, their programs team are using their laptops for client workshops, individual coaching sessions and even volunteer trainings, all of which used to happen in-person but now take place over Zoom.

Covenant House NY Mission:
Covenant House NY is the largest provider of shelter for homeless youth in NYC. Our work is guided by a mission to serve youth with absolute respect and unconditional love…to help kids who are suffering… and to protect and safeguard all children in need. In support of our mission, Covenant House New York (CHNY) is guided by five principles.
- Immediacy – CHNY immediately meets the basic needs of youth experiencing homelessness through a nourishing meal, a shower, clean clothes, medical attention, and a safe place to sleep.
- Sanctuary – CHNY provides a safe haven from the hardships of homelessness. We recognize the fundamental worth of every human being and create a safe setting where all youth – regardless of life experience or identity – are served without judgment.
- Value communication – CHNY leads by example to demonstrate that caring relationships are based on love, trust, respect, and honesty.
- Structure – CHNY provides the stability and structure necessary to build a positive future.
- Choice – CHNY fosters confidence; encouraging young people to believe in themselves and make informed choices for their lives.
How Your Donation Will Help:
GWGWG has partnered with CHNY to help raise money for resources needed by our moms and little ones living at Stepping Stones in the Bronx. Stepping Stones shelter is open 24/7 to provide runaway pregnant and parenting moms facing homelessness access to a continuum of support services. Young women ages 16-21 can arrive where they will be provided with a private bedroom and comfortable living spaces as they begin their journey to independence. Your donation will create a home-like experience in this shelter. For some, this may be the first time they have experienced a safe, stable living situation where they can study, prepare for an interview, and work on their savings for the future. With your donations, we are able to ensure that our onsite team has brand new items at their fingertips to provide the utmost care and uplifting day-to-day experiences to our young families at Stepping Stones.
