The DEC Appeal & Mothering Sunday
March 2022
Whilst the desperate situation escalates in Ukraine, I’ve been feeling uncomfortable about continuing with a ‘business as usual’ approach on my social media platforms.
Raising funds for DEC
At the request of one of my regular email subscribers, I'm sharing my recent Instagram post which explains how I, and many other small creative businesses, are donating money from sales to try and make even a small difference.
Thousands of families are facing heart-breaking decisions as they flee to neighbouring countries for safety and those left behind remain on a knife edge as their homes are ripped apart by bombing. Yesterday’s news of the attack on the maternity and children’s hospital in southern Ukraine has only highlighted this utter devastation even more.
Mothering Sunday
With Mothering Sunday approaching in the UK, the thought of bomb strikes and the anguish that the new and expectant mothers and those with sick children in the hospital would have felt really struck me, especially as many of them would have been unable to leave due to their own or their children’s condition.
Mother’s Day is just one day a year when we specifically remind our own mothers of the special place they have in our hearts. We show our appreciation for all they have done for us, for the sacrifices they may have made to give us opportunities but above all, love and comfort. Mother’s all around the world nurture, care, teach, encourage, feed and heal their children and would give anything for them to be happy.
Ukrainian mothers are trying to do all these things right now but above all, their focus is just to keep their children safe. Exhausted, they are doing it now, and every minute of every hour, of every day.
To recognise the courage and strength of all these mothers, I will be donating £20 from every sale of my Hydrangea stud and drop earrings to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
Made specifically for Mother’s Day, I can think of no better mothers to celebrate and honour than those fleeing from Ukraine.
With silver ball centres at £40 or gold ball centres at £45, I have 3 pairs left of each as studs or drops but I will be happy to make more if I run out.
Earrings are boxed and wrapped with FREE UK standard postage
If you would like to order a pair before March 27th 2022, please message me using the link below.
Update: Thank you to everyone who supported my fundraising. With your help I was able to donate £140 to DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
