Occasionally
we get inquiries wondering if we donate any of our profits to charity.
Our answer is, we are a "For Profit" company, but we do
give to local charities and non-profits.
Most
of the inquiries are about the pink Breast Cancer Bracelets we sell.
The reason we chose to sell the breast cancer bracelets is due to my
Mom being a breast cancer survivor. She's in a nursing home and has had
to "spend down" her assets and go on Medicaid.
Anyone
with an elderly parent (or possibly grand parent) on Medicaid
understands the ordeal that you must go through to qualify. She gets to
keep about a thousand dollars of her entire life savings—the
rest
goes to the nursing home. She also gets to keep $30 per month as an
"allowance." However, the monthly expenses are obviously more than $30.
Being
an only child, the responsibility falls to me to help her financially
each and every month. Of course, it is not only out of duty that I help
her, but out of the love I have for her, as well. The photo below shows
her and our four girls at the nursing home.
