There is a little boy, close in age to my Carson, whose story tugs at my heart. He was diagnosed with brain cancer the same month my childhood friends lost their mom to it. I have been following his journey with more empathy and compassion than I would have, had the pain and heartache caused by cancer not been so fresh on my mind.
He is a fighter; he needs a miracle.
About a week and a half ago his family received hard news, things aren't looking so good.
Their focus now: to make him as comfortable as possible and make as many memories with him as possible, while still praying, pleading, for a miracle. (Follow his story here.)
My heartaches, I cannot fathom what his parents, Kaitlyn and Matt, are going through.
This month I decided to donate the commissions I make through my Beautycounter business to the Schrock family to use wherever and however they need it. It only seemed fitting, as Lincoln--though he didn't realize it--played a part in my decision to switch to safer products when it came to skincare and beauty and cleaning and laundry for my own family. It was his story, in part, that led me to join Beautycounter.
If you have been considering placing an order, could this be your month? If you've ordered in the past and want to eventually replenish your supply, could this be your month?
Every little bit counts -- six days into the month and I have been completely astounded at the orders rolling it. Let's keep that momentum going!
To make the deal even sweeter, Beautycounter's Friend's + Family event is happening now, August 6 -12. Purchase now to receive 15% off your entire order! (Some exclusions apply.) If you need suggestions on where to begin, I would love to help you out.
Perhaps Beautycounter isn't your thing? You can still get involved by donating to their GoFundMe page.
Thank you for helping me raise money to send to this dear family. I truly am grateful.
This one is for you, Lincoln. <3
