About Us

Our Beliefs

In a world where people are too often judged for their outer appearance, we aim to make children, teens, and young adults battling cancer feel beautiful in their own skin. We donate bald American Girl dolls of 4 skin tones to girls battling cancer or hair loss. Every girl or boy deserves to have a doll that looks like THEM. Representation is everything. At Glimmer of Hope we value loyalty, love, diversity and kindness. Once your child is gifted a doll or care package, you become part of a family, our “Glimmer” family.

Doll Donation

We donate bald American Girl dolls to children battling cancer and hair loss worldwide. We also donate “look alike” dolls or dolls with hair to children battling cancer that have not/will not lose their hair.

Care Package Donation

We donate care packages (typically a $250-$500 value) to boys, teenagers, young adults and children that may not want a doll. Care packages are open to anyone battling cancer or a life threatening diseases, ages 0-26. These care packages include anything from makeup, to toys, diapers, clothing and much more. Each care package is curated specifically for the child based on their likes.

Meal Donation

We sponsor meal donations for the Izzy Room (Izzy Foundation) for the oncology floor at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Rhode Island (Floor 5). Each meal donation provides enough meals for all of the patients and staff on the fifth floor.

Casper loves her so much! He has been pretty down lately because his hair is really starting to thin out. This doll really lifted his spirits and helped him see that bald is still beautiful. We are so grateful for your generous gift of this doll, it will help make his brain tumor fight a little easier.

We came home from our 3 day stay out of town for clinic and Lennox’s doll was here. We have had a very rough day and these are the only smiles we got; her new doll! She was so excited to receive her and that she was brown!
