Help the Gulf Coast

I was born and raised in Southwest Louisiana, not far from the Gulf.  In fact, my parents and most of my family still live in there.  I attended college in New Orleans – the people, culture, and food are like no other place in the world.  Simply put, I am proud to call Louisiana home.

Louisiana has been through so much in recent years, and the recent oil spill is heartbreaking.  And seeing pictures of our beloved state bird, the brown pelican, covered in oil is unbearable.

So when I ran across Shannon’s recent post I was relieved to learn about Help the Gulf Coast – a shop dedicated to relief efforts for the Gulf Coast region.  Finally, there is something that I can directly contribute to!  There are a variety of sellers contributing to this cause – and I am proud to be one of them.  You can find my print above, “a time to reflect” listed in the shop.  100% of the proceeds are donated to charities helping with the Gulf Coast recovery effort.

Head over to the Help the Gulf Coast shop and pick up something for yourself and support a great cause at the same time.  And if you have your own etsy shop, consider donating an item!

It’s a wonderful cause… all of us artists and crafters banning together can do wonderful things to help the Gulf Coast.

The curators there have made it very simple to donate and they are doing a wonderful job! Thanks for spreading the word Gabrielle. :)

I am continually moved at the generosity of bloggers. What a wonderful idea. I know you are proud to be a part of it. I am proud to know you.
