Hi, I’m Malaine—artist, educator, and founder of Hope and Dimples Heals.

After walking through unimaginable personal losses, I’ve devoted my life to helping kids and families navigate grief, illness, and emotional healing through creativity and connection.

Now, I’m launching something extraordinary:

A Traveling Art Wellness Studio—a mobile healing space that brings creative tools, grief support, and social-emotional learning to hospitals, schools, and underserved communities.

This RV will be filled with:

• Art & resilience workshops for children facing illness or trauma

• Free grief journals and coloring books for pediatric cancer patients

• Creative healing kits for caregivers, schools, and therapists

• A safe, beautiful space to honor emotions through creativity

Your support will help us:

• Outfit the RV with healing art supplies, journals, and books

• Provide free Brave Me & Amazing Me kits to hospitals and families in need

• Travel across the Mid-Atlantic and eventually nationwide

• Build a legacy of healing that reaches the hearts that need it most

“Why $8,888?”

In angel numbers, 8 is the number of abundance, strength, and alignment—it represents material support flowing in to match soul-level purpose.

I chose $8,888 as my goal because:

• It reflects the infinite impact this studio will bring to children and families in need

• It symbolizes a cycle of giving and receiving, rooted in hope, healing, and heart

• And it reminds me (and you) that we don’t have to carry big dreams alone

This number is more than a goal. It’s a declaration: “I am ready to receive support so I can give even more.”

• $3,000 — mobile studio setup

• $3,000 — printing “Brave Me” & “Amazing Me” kits for hospitals and schools

• $2,888 — fuel + travel for outreach

I can’t do this alone—but maybe I was never meant to. With your help, Hope and Dimples Heals can become a movement of healing on wheels.

Let’s bring hope to life—together.
