The organization has provided around $300,000 worth of helpful supplies to hospitals, homeless shelters, transitional programs, feeding ministries, etc.
Because of her fantastic work at such a young age, Grace has received over $155,000 in global prizes and grants, which she puts right back into her organization.
Grace’s work does not stop at the We Cancerve Movement. In 2015, Grace created Camp Happy, a free summer camp for homeless children.
Camp Happy then expanded and opened transitional housing programs, a foster care group home, and La Magnifique Boutique, a boutique offering free full services. The boutique provides shoes, clothes, and accessories to those living in foster care groups.
In 2020, Grace was named one of the Hormel Foods 20 Under 20 Inspiring Young Food Heroes, which she was able to add to her long list of honors and awards. She most certainly deserves it!
Today, Grace is 18-years-old. As she continues to create programs that will provide goodwill and happiness to others, Grace is waiting to hear back from some colleges while working as a student page at the State House in Annapolis, Maryland.
“One of the most rewarding parts of We Cancerve is the impact it makes on all scales,” Grace said in an interview with CNN.
Grace has called herself “the happiness fairy,” and I’d say that is the perfect name for her!
