It's that time again! Time for our 2nd Annual Holiday Giveaway!!!!!
While the holidays are such a wonderful time for so many, unfortunately it's not that way for everyone. Too many families in the Bay Area specifically have fallen on tough times and need a little help finding holiday cheer.The Salvation Army holds something called the Angel Tree program which helps children and elderly or disabled individuals with something they may need or want for Christmas. I have always wanted to be able to give back and make a difference, but i'm only able to do so much as one person. This way i'm able to gift one of you beautiful people with the grand prize and help many more!
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
With this giveaway last year we were able to raise over $2600 and we were able to provide gifts for 52 recipients! This year I hope to exceed that number and make an even bigger difference in our severely underserved communities!
Sadly this year the Salvation Army changed the age range for children to sign up for the angel tree program. Now instead of children ages 17 and under being included, only children up to the ages of 12 or 13 will be allowed to sign up depending on the location. And because I believe that all children should feel special no matter their age, I am working directly with local organizations to help older children in need as well as our angels. Each recipient will be shopped for by myself personally and all gifts will be assembled by myself as well as a few little elves. (My family & Tori lol!)
Alongside the gifts/necessities requested by each individual, we'll also include a hygiene kit that's specific to each recipients age. This includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, loofah, body wash, & deodorant. We did this last year and it was a big hit!
I understand that this may not be for everyone and that's totally ok! Any help that you'd be willing to give is greatly appreciated! And if nothing else, simply sharing this with your loved ones is more than enough!
Now let's move on to the fun stuff!
The giveaway prize will be ANY of the packages that I offer with a value of up to $695 with $200 worth of products and goodies!!!!!! Not to mention, the additional surprise little giveaways in the days leading up to the final day! The only thing you need to do to enter is donate $5! For every $5 donated it's 1 entry. You can enter as many times as you'd like and donate as much as you'd like! So for clarification, if you were to donate $15, that will equate to 3 entries. If you would like to not enter the giveaway and simply donate, you're more than welcome to do so as well! The giveaway opens today and closes at 11:59 pm on December 19th to ensure we have enough time to shop and gather all the things we need for the final angels we'd be sponsoring and drop off that due on the 20th of December!
All payment will need to be sent directly to my venmo which I'll put down below. Please specify in the notes if you'd like to ENTER or DONATE. If there's any clarification needed I'll reach out directly!
If you're interested in helping out in your local community, I encourage you to reach out to a Salvation Army near you. My hope for this giveaway is to bring some hope & joy to as many people in need as possible. Sharing a bit of light in an otherwise dark circumstance. Thank you so, so much for your support, generosity, and compassion. I couldn't do this without you.
Sending you tons of love always,
Marlise
