Good Cause


Today we are going to do things a little different. I want to let you know about 2 causes dear to my heart. 

One: Operation Sunscreen. Protect those who protect us. 

My husband served in Baghdad, Iraq for 14 months. I can tell you first hand how much love he felt from the country he left behind. He received notes, letters, and packages from family, friends, and strangers. It touched his heart and mine. Sometimes he didn't even know how to accept the kind gestures people would show him, including a simple thank you. In his mind, he was doing his job. He still doesn't view himself as a hero. 

He came home with multiple scars, some you can see and many you can't. His face aged 10 years from all the sun damage. 

You can send a sun care package over seas and for every kit bought, another will be matched. Email me for more detail, dreambiglovealways@gmail.com.
 Every time you thank a veteran, a soldier, a service member, it does matter, it does mean something. You might think that small thing you do, doesn't matter but it does. One person might not sound like a lot to help but when that one person is your whole world, it is a big deal.

Two: Bill Dowling inspiration tag Fundraiser 


Any inspiration or fire department charm bought in my site the month of June will have all profits donated to Capt. Bill Dowling, a local fire fighter badly injured in an apartment fire on May 31. Please help his family by donating blood, offering prayers, or donating funds to his family.
