Alanna J.Wall

Meet Alanna J.Wall. Born in 2000, Alanna truly is a new millennium girl. She is the founder of “Polished Girlz”. Alanna wanted to combine her love of drawing and nail design for different projects, but was told she was too young to volunteer. Nevertheless, Alanna’s compassionate spirit made her want to share her talents with young ladies that were hospitalized or not feeling quite as “polished”, so she decided to start her own organization. Add a mission of hand washing, infection reduction, and a few likeminded friends, and the “Polished Girlz” were born. Born to Rock, Born to Shine, and Born to Serve!

Fast forward two years and what started as a single girl with a dream and her mom, has grown into one thousand children served, 150 registered volunteers and several chapters popping up all over the place! Alanna’s vision spreads throughout the United States and is a featured organization in China for the United Nations presentation on Americas Service organizations.
