It's been a rough couple of days in the news. In light of the Casey Anthony verdict, there is not a single person I know that isn't appalled, disgusted and downright heartbroken over the decision the jurors made. Caylee Anthony was a victim of child abuse plain and simple. At who's hands...we can speculate but we will never know the truth. There are thousands of children each year that pass too soon, go missing without a trace and go to bed hungry at night. There are thousands of little kids just like Caylee suffering every day. It might be a child your child goes to school with, the next door neighbor or a co-workers child. If we aren't these children's advocates, who can they turn to? Social services is often overworked and understaffed and we all watch the news and see how many of these children slip through the cracks. Children are my passion, my own and all the other special little beings in my life. I thought....I can't change what has happened but what can I do to help in the future?
While one person can't change the world- I can certainly help spread the word and make my contribution. In honor of Caylee Anthony, Cotton Candy Totes will be donating 10% off each sale for the months of July & August to a great organization called Prevent Child Abuse America. Their website is http://www.preventchildabuse.org/There are 47 chapters around the US dedicated to providing services and help for families that need it. You can even report a suspected case of child abuse right from their site. And PLEASE...if you do suspect that there is child abuse going on, please report it. you can be saving a life and a family.
In addition to donating a portion of our sales, we are going to be looking into designing a special bag just for Caylee that can be purchased exclusively on our site at the suggestion of an old friend and fan of our FB page.
Even if you don't purchase a bag from me, please look into donating to Prevent Child Abuse America. They depend on people like us to keep their organization going.
Thank you and may we all keep Caylee Anthony and all the other victims of child abuse in our prayers tonight, and every night!
XOXO Cotton Candy Totes
