Christmas Giving

Christmas is a time for giving and I’m sure we all have friends and family that we give gifts to.

BUT this week we had an order from a lady – nothing unusual in that. But after she received the order she sent me an e-mail. Check this out…

 

My order arrived this afternoon and I must say this gift is the most exciting I’m going to be giving this Christmas! My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last month and had her breast removed a few weeks ago! She is feeling uncomfortable in her own skin so I’m hoping this makes her feel whole again! I saw you months ago on the dragons den and thought what a great idea I’m sure my mother and I will be doing business with you again! Your idea is fantastic! Thanks so much and happy holidays

Jessica

It bought tears to my eyes just thinking about how her Mom is going to feel when she receives this special gift from her daughter. Okay, I know it’s unusual to open a gift and find a boob, but knowing that her daughter cares so much about how she feels about herself will be the best feeling in the world. I’m sure she will be very proud of her.

But I also hope she will have a little chuckle and realise that in years to come she will be able to say “guess what I got for Christmas in 2011 – a boob” now not many people will be able to say that!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY, HEALTHY 2012

Special Fundraiser for Newly Diagnosed

One of my retailers, Barb from BodyMed Boutique in Burlington, Ontario, has started an initiative to give every woman who has breast surgery at Joseph Brant Hospital, a post-surgical camisole.

I am involved in this initiative because it is important to let women know that they are being thought of at a very stressful time of their lives.

We need $5000 to be able to fund this, and Barb has arranged a fun Christmas shopping day/evening at her store on November 30. If you wish, you can call her at 289-337-1508 or myself at 1-866-290-0821 to arrange a donation or find out details of the event. BodyMed_ Boutique_ChristmasFundraiser
