GIVING BACK
Helping the planet and pets in need, has always been something that brought me so much joy and pride. It only made sense that my small business aims to help, not hurt the planet, and that 10% of proceeds are donated back to pet rescues and shelters. Every order, every item, every purchase, helps homeless pets. How cool is that?
Since our founding in 2020, we have been able to donate (as of 06/30/2021) $278.25 from sales as well as charity auctions, to eight different pet rescues and no kill shelters.
SUSTAINABLE FASHION, FOR YOU AND YOUR PET, THAT:
HELPS HOMELESS PETS | PRESERVES AND PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT | SUPPORTS GLOBAL & HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS
In February of 2021, we launched The Conservation Collection, which consisted of five different animal and nature bandana prints. Each print in the collection correlates to a conservation organization in which we will donate an additional 10% of proceeds to, upon the fabric print selling out.

Gun violence is way too prevalent here in the U.S. There should not be more mass shootings than days in the year. All too often these acts of violence take place where you would least expect it, including on school campuses across the country.
After the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, I compiled a list of all the shootings from January of 1999 through May 25, 2022. The complete list is printed on the back of our "Policy & Change" t-shirt.
We hope that our "Policy & Change" shirt not only starts meaningful conversations within your community, but we will also donate $5 from each shirt sold, to Everytown for Gun Safety.
Everytown for Gun Safety is the largest gun safety organization, made up of over 8 million moms, students, teachers, mayors, gun owners, and survivors of gun violence.
Everytown for Gun Safety supports survivors, pushes for gun safety from politicians and in the courts, helps register voters, advocates for gun sense candidates, and advocates for safety reforms.

Since 2013, my mom and I have been participating in Habitat for Humanity Seminole-Apopka Women Build. This organization has a special place in our hearts.
Habitat for Humanity has a proven model that helps families escape the cycle of poverty, teach financial stability, as well as skills to set them up for long-term success. Habitat Seminole-Apopka works alongside these hardworking families and individuals, offering a hand up not a hand out, to build quality, safe, and affordable homes.
Working alongside future homeowners, hearing their stories, and seeing the impact that stable, affordable housing has is truly incredible. Just as Women Build brings people together to physically construct and finish the houses, it could not be done without the support of many.
