Board No. 80 - Shopping for a Cause

I may be late to the game, but I just learned today about the amazing Etsy sellers who have come together to help a friend though Etsy Project Embrace. Many sellers are giving a portion of their sales to help a "fellow dear and darling Etsian, Laura Slocum, conquer and utterly defeat ovarian cancer! Money goes to American Cancer Society." See Laura's story here. I am truly amazed by the way that Etsians come together for causes and support of each other. Here are some of the fabulous items that are being sold for the charitable cause:

Featured above: Laura Ovarian Cancer Survivor Bracelet from adornbyamysingley

  4. Thank you for highlighting this! Laura is a strong and vibrant woman... and the American Cancer Society is such a worthy cause. I believe most everyone will be touched in some way by cancer... let's work to put an end to that.
