Oh New York & New Jersey you hold a special place in my
heart. When I was 21 I took off to you
Manhattan from small town Wisconsin for a summer long internship. You and your
make it or break it attitude changed me and molded me into the person that I am
today. For that opportunity to share those three months with you I am so very
thankful.
It hurts my heart to see photos on the news of Lower
Manhattan, Staten Island and New Jersey look like a war zone. Being the person that I am it is very hard
for me to sit here and not have bought a plane ticket, grab the Staten Island
Ferry and go with garbage bags and work gloves and help do something, anything.
Alas, this is the beginning of the busiest time of year at
the day job and I just can’t and that kills my New York area loving heart! So instead I have decided that throughout the
rest of November I am going to donate $5 from every sale in both shops to the
Red Cross Relief efforts. I will be
donating all the funds to their “Disaster Relief” initiative for Hurricane
Sandy victims. More information on that can be found HERE
This is a great way to begin your Holiday shopping while
helping people that so desperately need supplies and shelter during this month of
Thankfulness. If you choose to buy
something from either shops THANK YOU, if you would rather donate on your own
here is a link to an MSNBC article that is a great resource of donation
information.
