Our Scentsy Donation Drive...



One night before Christmas, I was thinking about how nice it would be to donate anything to anyone. I strongly welcomed the thought. The problem was the only thing I have to donate is my time. Which there really isn't nearly as much spare time in my days as I like to think. As much as Id love to donate my time, I felt like donating objects would bring more smiles. If you know me, you know how much I love to make others smile and laugh. Problem with this idea is I'm too broke to be able to afford any form of donations and there isn't anything in my house that would make others smile. I knew it would take a LOT of effort for me to make something happen, and in the spirit of donations and smiles. I'm ALL in.

I have more resources at my finger tips than I ever think about. I sell Scentsy Products as a business... Kids smiles melt my heart... Scentsy has some great Buddies(super soft plush, naturally hypo-allergenic stuffed animals)... What children would appreciate these more than any?!

... And the Scentsy Buddy Valentines Day Donation Drive was Born. (0:

Here's a little information and background about this drive and the people putting it together and raising the donations. There are 4 Scentsy Consultants doing this Drive.

Rachel (Me)
Laura
Robyn
Melissa

We together like to call ourselves Aiken's Wickless Wonders... This is the name of our Facebook page. Laura has 2 kids and 1 on the way. Robyn has 2 kids as well and Melissa has one. I have dogs. Lol. Two of us are servers, one is a stay at home mommy and the other works at a local government site. We all understand what its like to not have money, to live off the generosity of the public or have to find other jobs to make it. This is the basis we built this drive off of.

That being said, DONATIONS OF ANY DENOMINATION ARE WELCOME. If you wish to donate a Buddy, then you have the freedom to choose which buddy you would like to donate. Each Buddy is $25. There is one Buddy that cost $30, She is Sasha.
Let me give you a little back ground on Sasha. Each catalog Scentsy does what we call a cause. Last catalog was Autism Speaks and Scentsy raised over $500,000 for this cause. Sasha, is this catalogs cause. Each and Every dollar raised from the purchase of Sasha goes to The Ronald McDonald House Foundation.

That being said, all the donations raised, with the exceptions of the previously chosen Buddies, will go towards the purchase of Sasha. This, we feel, will be an even better way to give. This will essentially double the impact of the donations! The kids in our local hospital get stuffed animals for Valentines Day and The Ronald McDonald House gets the financial donation of what we helped raise!!

This Drive is running through the end of the month (January 31st 1159 EST) to allow enough time to get these shipped and ready to be delivered.

Our Goal is to give each kid at the Children's Center in the Medical College of Georgia a Scentsy Buddy. Think you can help?

Ive set up a donation account through PayPal to help us attain this goal. the widget seen below can be used by anyone. So, if you want to help and cant afford it, add the widget to your website, blog, email signature... whatever you can and that will help us out more than you know!

Below I'm going to put a link to the Scentsy Buddies so you can see what we offer and also a link to our Facebook page. Feel free to like our page to keep up with this drive, specials, discounts and anything Scentsy.

I greatly thank you in advance for your time, donations and anything else you may help us with. Here's to a great day filled with Perfect Scents
