What did you do when you turned 40?? I’m not sure what I’m going to when it happens (which is way sooner than it seems like it will be). Do you follow my friend Jenny’s blog, The Southern Institute? Well, she just turned 40 and is using her milestone as motivation to help others!
If you could help a battered, abused woman get back the hope that was stolen from her, you would do it, right? Guess what? YOU CAN help by donating to the Enchanted Makeovers fundraiser with me. Jenny just turned 40 years old this month and created a fundraiser to give back to women who are hurting and need our help. Most of us are so fortunate, aren’t we? We have families who love us, homes to take care of, food on the table, jobs to go to, or we choose to stay home with our children because we can. Can you imagine not having those gifts in your life? I remind myself daily not to take them for granted. There are so many women out there who have been hurt and have no choice but to depend on the kindness and generosity of strangers for their needs. We can help!
‘Since 2007, Enchanted Makeovers’ mission has been to transform homeless shelters for women and children into places that inspire behavioral and psychological change. Through our various projects, mentoring programs and makeovers of the physical space, women and children are introduced to a way of thinking that helps to shift their outlook about their lives and possibilities for the future. The shelter is transformed into a “beacon of hope”. Mentoring programs such as the“Sacred Sewing Room”, “Stepping into the Dream”and “Capes for Kids” develop important life and coping skills.’- via Enchanted Makeovers
There are only ten days left in Jenny’s fundraiser, and she’s far from her goal of raising $1000 dollars. Please consider giving whatever amount you can. It would mean so much to the women AND children who benefit from the services that Enchanted Makeovers provides. And I don’t mind begging… because it’s not for me, it’s for someone much less fortunate who needs our help. PLEASE give today and think of the hope that you will be bringing to another woman who needs it desperately.
Let’s make Jenny’s goal happen! Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much for donating and sharing about this, Louise! I appreciate it and so do the women whose lives you are touching! XO
