Coming Together for Hope…A Raffle for Charity

Prior to my mother’s passing I was fascinated by the metamorphosis of motherhood. I’ve written about it in blogs over the years…it is truly a cellular transformation.

When I find out someone else is a mother I love to compare notes. I had a conversation recently with a woman who said “Your child is your cathedral”. What a brilliant metaphor I thought. A cathedral takes a lifetime to create. You might not ever see it’s completion. And yet you build anyway, rooted in pure devotion. Your love and devotion are in every detail, which will last long beyond your time on this earth.

In the last year I have fallen in love somewhat unexpectedly, with charity. My charity often takes the form of helping another woman. Either as a mother, as now that channel is open in myself it flows freely outward to all. Or, if she is herself a mother, I want to lighten her load.

There is nothing worse I can imagine than losing my child, or not being able to protect and provide for him. And I see in the world many women exactly like myself forced into this role. Helping them is the only way I know how to live now.

To this end, this week I am going to raffle off a service with myself for a Bespoke Facial. You can buy a single entry for $10, three for $20. You can buy multiples (six for $40 for example). Next Sunday we will draw a winner, and schedule you with for my return late August or beyond. And all proceeds will go to mothers who need it to survive, or to provide for their children.

I console myself that my charity is an investment in a world that is safer for my own child. I will also mention…many people who know about the charity I provide say they would like to offer the same, but are afraid due to the politics in our country. Please know your entry is a private way to give, and best case scenario you get a treatment with me valued at $330.

Please purchase your entry through our online store, and let us know if you have any issues. Thank you for your generosity, and your visits.
