September Charity of the Month - very close to my heart.

Hi friends,

I'm sorry I'm so late in getting this email out. Most of you have probably already heard through social media that our Charity of the Month in September is supporting someone very close to my heart, my nephew, Alex. Due to a lack of oxygen at birth, Alex has severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy as well as many other related challenges. Among those challenges, he cannot speak verbally. In fact his ability to understand and use language was assumed for the first two years of his life to be not possible. With the help of a communication system known as Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD), not only is language becoming possible, but slowly and with lots and lots of hard work it is becoming a reality.

Alex is now a little kid with a VERY big opportunity. Recently, he was invited to work for a month at the Cerebral Palsy Education Center (CPEC) located in Melbourne Australia. This invitation was extended by both CPEC’s director as well as one of it’s employees, the inventor of PODD. This is a huge honor as CPEC does not often accept non-local children. Alex’s visit will be costly. This is where you come in! When all is said and done for Alex to be able to attend for the 4 weeks we need to raise $14,000 by the 1st of October. This money will pay for transportation, housing, accommodations, equipment, as well as CPEC’s fees.

A portion of all purchases at www.ubuntugoods.com benefit Alex's Aussie Adventure in September. We truly appreciate any help you can give and if you want to help out my sweet nephew Alex, but have way too much fair trade jewelry already, here is a link to his GoFundMe page. Thank you in advance, your donations are greatly appreciated!

I have another favor to ask. Would you help us spread the word to everyone you know? The more people who hear about us, the more people that purchase our handmade, fair trade products. And the more people who purchase, the more people we help!!

There are so many ways to help:

1) Host a Party with a Purpose - it's so easy! ​

1. Decide whether to host it in your home as a pop-up shop or online through Facebook.

2. Pick a date and time.

3. Invite all your favorite people.

4. Earn tons of free jewelry and donate a portion of all party proceeds to the charity of YOUR choice.
