THE NAIL FAIRY.

The Heart of The Nail Fairy

Hi, I’m Martina, affectionately known as The Nail Fairy. For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, visiting children who are facing significant medical challenges. My mission has always been to sprinkle a little magic and light into their day through something as simple—but meaningful—as a manicure.

Dressed in fairy wings, I’ve floated room to room, offering kids their choice of nail polish and the chance to keep their very own bottle. This small gift, paired with a little laughter and kindness, aims to make each child feel seen, loved, and cared for. It’s the little things—like a pop of color or a fun moment—that can brighten even the toughest days.

Expanding the Magic

After 10 incredible years of bringing joy to the children at Mary Bridge, I’m excited to explore new opportunities to expand The Nail Fairy's reach and impact. My goal is to bring this magic to even more children, families, and communities. Whether it’s partnering with other hospitals, schools, or organizations, I’m eager to see where The Nail Fairy’s wings will take me next.
