Confession post π¬
I am not a decorator. I am terrible at decorating for holidays ππ as a matter of fact, I just took down the pumpkins from Halloween yesterday andβ¦ today, I put up the Christmas tree at the salon π
But as Iβm putting up this tree, something hits me.
3 years ago I was in the toughest spot of my life.
β’I was recently separated, as a single mom of 2 kids, living on my own for the first time in my life.
β’I was working for minimum wage as a bar cook because I needed a job and I couldnβt bartend since we were shut down
I was in a spot where all my kids wanted was a Christmas tree. π They didnβt care if I got them presents.. they just wanted a tree.
So I bought the smallest tree possible because my house was also tiny- I bought it for $10 at Gooodwill because thatβs all I could afford.
Fast forward 3 years and Iβm in a whole new place in my life. ππΌ
As Iβm putting this tree up today, I realized there is someone else out there right now thatβs in the position I was 3 years ago.
Whose kids donβt care about the gifts but they care about the tree. The sentimental part of the tree. π
So I decided, this tree will be gifted to a family when I close the salon on December 22nd.
These envelopes you see, those are written with money amounts $5, $10, $20 or pick an amount
β’β’β’anything put into these envelopes will be used to buy one small gift per child and whatever is left will be used to fund an experience the family has wanted to do but finances have not allowed.
Please help me locate the perfect family for this tree, the gifts and experience! β€οΈ
Send your nominations to me, directly. Also- Share this post like crazy!
I would like to have a family picked by December 10th so the parents can be at ease about Christmas
