(Ottawa, ON) April 10, 2025 – The Legacy of Hope Foundation (LHF) is grateful for the support and generosity of spirit demonstrated by Simply Nailogical. Thanks to their donation of $2,900, the LHF will continue to produce education materials and exhibitions that speak to the rich histories and lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, as well as the abuses and impacts Indigenous Peoples have faced as a result of their experiences in Residential/Day School, and within the Child Welfare System.

Simply Nailogical is a nail polish and entertainment personality run by Canadian content creator Cristine Rotenberg. Through her YouTube channels and online presence, Cristine is one of the most influential voices in beauty and inspires millions to explore their creativity. She is also recognized by her community for her emphasis on the value of education and her contributions to Canadian charities.

“I am grateful for my wonderful online community who continues to put me in a position that makes it possible for me to support charities that are important to me. Together, we are happy to contribute to the meaningful work that takes place at the Legacy of Hope Foundation to support and uplift the Indigenous community in Canada,” said Cristine Rotenberg of Simply Nailogical.

“We are so thankful for the creative actions that are taking place by allies such as Simply Nailogical to foster Reconciliation in Canada. Together we can create a brighter tomorrow for future generations,” said Teresa Edwards, LHF Executive Director and Legal Counsel.

The LHF is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for over 25 years. The LHF’s goal is to educate Canadians about the history and existing impacts on generations of Indigenous Peoples caused by their experiences as children living through Residential and/ or Day School, or within the Child Welfare System. We do this to address ongoing discrimination and injustice to contribute to the equity, dignity, and respectful treatment of Indigenous Peoples and to foster Reconciliation.

The LHF has more than 30 educational exhibitions that inform people about Indigenous history through art and other mediums that are free to borrow, and some exhibitions are available online. LHF also has a curriculum for K -12 for teachers and adults, along with Activity Guides, Research, Communication materials and Podcasts, Workshops and Training for businesses, all aimed at educating Canadians about Indigenous history and the shared history of Residential and Day Schools, the Sixties Scoop, etc. The LHF works to develop empathy and understanding to eliminate racism against Indigenous Peoples. We also offer Cultural Reclamation Workshops, share Best Practices about Language Revitalization and Food Sovereignty, etc., along with other tools to support hope and healing.
