Fabulous Friday - May's Charities of the Month!


First of all, thank you for your support last month, as I was able to donate money to help rescue some feedlot horses, now happily recovering at Circle L Farms, as well as donate a little bit of money to the Cancer Society in Canada!
This month I am so happy to announce the new charities of the month - yes there are 2 very special charities.
The first is the Arthritis Society of Canada - appropriate as May is Fibrolyamgia awareness month, with May 12 being Fibromyalgia Awareness day. They help people with fibromyalgia and arthritis manage their disease and live lives that are as normal as possible, as well as funding research into these debilitating diseases.
The second charity is also the EFA (Etsy for Animals) charity of the month and a good friend of mine. Epic Farms is a horse rescue and rehabilitation farm in Alabama, run by a wonderful woman (and cancer survivor!) Jennifer Crowe. They are in desperate need of help after torrential rains have washed away parts of their paddocks, flooded their tack room, and blown the roof off a few stalls in their horse barn!
5% of the total sales before taxes and shipping will go to EACH charity this month. As well, you can go to my Charity Promo Items section in my Etsy store to see items available that will donate specific dollar amounts to these charities.
I wish each of these charities the best of luck and if you would like to donate directly, you can do so through their websites:
EpicFarms.com
Arthritis.ca
Thank you for your compassion and support,
