I know you all are out at your doorbusters as I post this. You are trying to find parking spots, fighting the crowds, standing in long lines, probably wondering what in the world you are doing.
Can I show you something? Put your bags down and read a little and then shop a bit from your comfy couch with no. pressure. at. all.
Karyn, a stay-at-home mom and occupational therapist, learned about the human trafficking crisis as well as incredible nonprofits doing significant work for human trafficking victims and survivors – work bringing hope, opportunity, and a brighter future through vocational training. And, her passion for the cause grew…or exploded.
She wanted to support these groups through her shopping and searched for a place where she could purchase items from artisans to support a variety of nonprofits to help fight human trafficking. When she couldn’t find a single site like that, she stepped on up and created one–Delicate Fortress Creations.
Since its inception, DFC has opened its arms to over 25 different artisan groups around the world to fight human trafficking, poverty, and modern day slavery. Groups like Abba House Foundation, Radiant Hope, and International Princess Project…to name a few.
And, on top of supporting all those groups, Karyn has started a fundraising program too, giving 25% of sales using your unique coupon code during your designated week to you for your cause. All you do is share the code. People will buy…promise. Since September, she’s held 5 fundraisers–2 of which were for adoptive families raising money for their adoption process. The last family who participated had 40 purchases from people from 7 different states. Those purchases supported 22 different artisan and nonprofit groups around the world. And, they raised $741.75 in that one week to offset their travel costs. That rocks.
There’s so much I love on her site. I instantly fell in love with the animal backpacks from Made By Survivors–as did some one else I know.
In fact, she’s napped with it and asked to wear it in the bath. It’s an everyday accessory really.
Here’s Lydia trying to explain to Daddy how a toy ice cream cone ended up flushed down the potty. Perhaps you can understand why the monkey is fitting for her, our little Chinese Curious George. (sigh)
Karyn is offering one reader here an animal backpack of their choice (panda, elephant, lion, or crazy crazy monkey)–let’s hope your little one doesn’t get into any trouble wearing hers.
