YYC青年互助会是位于加拿大艾伯塔省卡尔加里市的一家初创组织。它的启动项目是为需要的年轻女孩提供卫生巾护理包，以应对这个大流行期间的需求。

这个项目是由17岁的Deepsimran Braich发起的，她是来自伊丽莎白女王中学的学生。当她与一个朋友交谈时，她的朋友分享了自己在这个困难时期难以获得卫生巾护理产品的困难。由于家庭经济困难和无法外出购买这些产品，对她的心理健康产生了负面影响。

于是，Deep开始在父母不知情的情况下离家外出用她三年来攒下的零花钱和做家务的钱购买卫生巾产品给她的朋友们。她会努力购买她喜欢的产品和带香味的产品，为得到这些产品的女孩提供一种被照顾的感觉。

Deep相信，小小的事情可以给人们的生活带来快乐，并在这个困难时期带来希望。当来自她朋友圈的请求越来越多时，她知道再也不能瞒着父母了，但令她惊讶的是，Deep得到了家人的全力支持，帮助她获得更多资源并向护理包中添加更多物品。

该项目仍在扩大，并致力于为城市中的更多女孩提供护理包。青年互助会希望能从社区获得更多捐赠，可以是实际产品、电子转账或者制作护理包。欲了解更多信息，请发送电子邮件至calgaryyouthhelp@gmail.com。

青年互助会项目得到了Livewire Calgary的关注。

YYC Youth Helping Youth is a start-up organization based in Calgary, Alberta. Its kick-off project is to make feminine hygiene care packages to provide to young girls who are in need during this pandemic.

This project was initiated by Deepsimran Braich, a 17-year-old student from Queen Elizabeth High School, when she was talking to one of her friends, who shared her difficulty in accessing feminine hygiene care products during these difficult times. With the financial struggle in the family and the inability to go outside to purchase these products, it was creating a negative impact on her mental health.

Deep then began going out of her home without her parents knowing and purchasing products from her three years of work money, and chores, to buy sanitary products for her friends. She would try to buy her favorite products and those that were scented, to help the girl who would get the product to feel pampered.

Deep believes that the small things can bring happiness to someone’s lives, and really bring hope during these difficult times. When the number of requests grew from her friend circle, she knew she couldn’t hide it from her parents any longer, but to her surprise Deep gained the full support of her family with this initially small project. They were able to help her gain more resources and add more items to the care packages.

The project is still growing and working on providing more care packages to girls around the city. The organization Youth Helping Youth is hoping to get more donations from the community, either from actual products, e-transfers or making of the kits.
