we are one

so my mom got me this really cute bracelet from this website: www.weareonedesigns.com The bracelet is actually designed for Camp Twin Lakes where I work! CTL hosts all different camps for children with serious illnesses and life challenges at two sites in Georgia. not only was it designed for ctl, but when you check out you get to pick a charity that 20% of the profits go to! That is donating without doing much at all!

more about me and camp twin lakes: when i was little i was diagnosed with leukemia, a type of cancer, and since i was 8, i have attended Camp Sunshine, a camp for kids with cancer, that is hosted at Camp Twin Lakes. CTL has everything that a regular camp does, except EVERYTHING is air conditioned and wheel chair accessible. they have boats, climbing wall, ziplines, everything. also the staff is specially trained to work with these different kids. we learn how to send kids in wheelchairs up a zipline among other things. they also have medical facilities to accomodate each illness that has a camp here. CTL hosts a ton of different camps including those for kids with diabetes, asthma, kids who have been abused or neglected, kids with muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, craniofacial disorders... i could go on and on! for more on the best camp in the entire world: www.camptwinlakes.org

another favorite of mine

one other awesome thing about this website is that a lot of the stuff isn't too expensive, so for those of us on a budget, you can get unique boutique jewelry AND donate to a great cause.


of course i would LOVE for everyone who sees this to go out and buy something and pick Camp Twin Lakes for your charity... but there are also a bunch of other charities you would like:

• American Cancer Society
• American Red Cross
• Atlanta Pet Rescue
• Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA)
• Doctors Without Borders
• The Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund
• Susan G Komen for the Cure
• Yele Haiti

just to name a few!! also every month they have a 'charity of the month', and they tend to donate extra to it! CTL was last month, and this month is the Atlanta Humane Society!

i love jewelry and i love doing things for a cause! on this site they also gift-wrap for you and send a special little memo with the piece of jewelry.

these are just some examples of the beautiful jewelry they have on this website, and there is still plenty more- including earrings. bottom line: check this website out!!! everything is unique and one-of-a-kind. so next time you are considering going into some expensive boutique..... remember this site!! here it is again: www.weareonedesigns.com
