☮️ Pause ☮️
I am borrowing a page from a fellow local FB page, Manda’s Mixers. I started making masks for family and friends, then expanded to neighbors and restaurant/grocery workers. Donating and selling expanded into a (hopefully) temporary side gig that kept me occupied when I wasn’t remote teaching. As a special education teacher in a rural district, I see and hear first hand about the numerous endemic injustices in our country. For a long time, I have thought that I do what I can, where I can to help foster the next generation. In light our current conditions, I can do more.
In the words of Amanda Gauthier, I would like to make this small idea valuable in our community. If a small idea can spark even a small change for the better, then it will have been a success.
For the month of June, 50% of all sales will be donated directly to the following organizations in honor of equality for all. In addition, 100% of any additional payments/tips for the month of June will be donated directly to the following organizations as well. 🖤✊🏽🌈
