{Have you ever heard about a situation and it just breaks your heart and you feel like you HAVE TO do something about it?A few months back I met a lady, Lovely Reckley, and she told me how she goes to four different schools in Abaco and feeds 85+ children that would have otherwise had no lunch. For some of these kids, this is the only meal of the day.Lovely even takes food to some of them when school is out.That really broke my heart. I mean, I know there are kids all over the world that are starving, but when I realized there were children right under my nose it killed me. I kept wondering what I could do. I thought about offering to help cook, but cooking for so many mouths really overwhelmed me. Then I realized what a COMMITMENT this awesome woman had made to these children.....EVERYDAY!!!At Christmas, instead of giving gifts I gave a donation to her organization (and to our Humane Society) instead of buying things that people really didn't need.But it kept tugging at my heart. So, I decided for the month of February I would post several heart themed items to my blog. They would be for sale, and I would give 25% of the cost of the item to Lovely, to help with her costs.I may post an item everyday or I may post several items a week.....I am really not sure, but 25% will go to "Feed the Children" in Abaco, Bahamas.I CANNOT imagine going without food, or only having one meal a day that I had to rely on someone else to bring to me, and these children shouldn't have to deal with this either, so please help!}
Happy Monday everyone!
Thanks for stopping by to see my Pay it Forward item for today!
This is going to be a quick post today since I got sick over the weekend.....UGH!!.....I havent been sick in over 3 years and I dont know what to do with myself. Woke up this morning with no voice.....not good!
Anyway, enough complaining.....here is today's item.....
The copper rectangles are a pinch over an inch long and half of an inch wide, with textured fine silver hearts soldered on them.
The ear wires are fine silver.
They are $28, and 25% will go to help "Feed the Children Abaco".
{these have been sold}
I probably won't get them into my Etsy store until later, because I am heading back to bed, but in the meantime you can message me or leave a comment below.
Luckily I have several heart items made, and I am ahead of myself for this project {for once!}, so even if I am not feeling well I can still get my posts up!
Have a great day & thanks for stopping by.
