Buy for Change....Week 1 Continued

So....I have had so much interest that another post this week is in order.  Check out these ideas for gift-giving with a purpose this holiday season....

1. Reaser family adoption....Meet Dennis and Katie Reaser and their four children.

They are in the process of adopting a toddler girl from Ethiopia.  They have gotten their court date for November 30th and are praying that they have their princess home by Christmas.  You can read all about their story here. To raise funds for their adoption, they are selling these awesome washer necklaces, reusable grocery bags, and Just Love Coffee.  Visit their blog to order these products. RIGT NOW until October 23rd, you can order Pampered Chef products with a percentage of the sales going toward their adoption...and because it's an October show, you will get 20% of select stoneware pieces.  Just make sure you put "Katie" as the hostess.  Click here for the Pampered Chef site.  Thanks for helping bring "baby M" home!

$10 for one washer, $15 for two washers

reusable grocery bags....$5         

2.  Because Every Mother Matters...This is wonderful organization started raising funds in 2008 to send  birthing kits to women in Africa.  Since then, they have started a birthing kit program and a mother sponsorship program.  They also support maternal health centers, child development centers, and provide educational training.  Talk about getting to the heart of the matter....helping mommas so that they don't have to give up their babies.  You can read all about BEMM here. BEMM relies on donations to fund their efforts.  They also have several products for sale....

     

               Note cards... $10                                           Tacky 4 Africa headbands... $10 each 

3. Happy Shirts....Eric and Laura Anderson started this non-profit with one thing in mind....get a shirt, give a shirt.  For every shirt/onesie that is purchased, they give one away to orphans and refugees all over the world.  Pick from hundreds of "happies" for that special person in your life....from hobbies, to animals, to sports, professions....pretty much anything you can think of is already on a My Happy t-shirt.

Each shirt is $20 and is made from soft ring-spun cotton. Such a cute gift and for a great cause!

4. Crockett family adoption...Meet the Crockett family...Adam, Lindsay, Makayla and Addison.

The Crocketts have been on the adoption journey since February and just this month have sent off their dossier! You can read their story here on their blog. They are also selling Just Love Coffee, and t-shirts that are $18.  Also, if you buy any products from Hannah James (a jewelry and accessory online boutique), from now until December, the Crocketts will get 45% of the profits. Just make sure to put "Crockett" in the notes.

t-shirts... $18

Thanks for helping change lives!
