Kia ora Lovelies,
It appalls me that people are bought and sold today, every day. Too often I feel overwhelmed by the scale of injustice and unable to demonstrate my love and solidarity for others.
As Helen Keller said, 'I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.'
This year I am wearing dresses every day in December and I am asking you to partner with me by doing your 'something' and giving what you can give.
"Dressember" is a month long fundraiser for International Justice Mission and A21 who are both charities set up to end modern day slavery, and people trafficking. They work with victims, governments, set people free and educate people to stay safe from trafficking and recognise trafficking within their communities.
INCENTIVES - Need some motivation?
Donate over $15 AUD - pick a dress and the date I will wear it.
Donate over $40 AUD - Special dates choose what I wear on - My birthday (1st), Christmas Day(25th), Speaking at Church (17th), Last Day of School (14th), My Son's Dance performance (18th)
Donate over $100 AUD and select from a pile of fabric and I will make a dress especially for the day you chose with the fabric you chose. :-) Yes I will! (only 4 available)
On the day I wear 'your' dress I will also tag you on instagram or facebook (if you have them) while wearing it.
