For A Day Foundation- CHOC

Today's post is a very meaningful one to us. As most of you know Buylove, our tote bag company (see here), is partnered up with a non-profit organization for each of our 4 lines. With each line, we chose a non-profit we feel best represents that line and is geared towards women. Our motto "Buy love give love" has multiple meanings: with each bag you purchase you are also giving one to you friend and as an added bonus, a non-profit organization!



Our Buywishes line donates towards For a Day Foundation.


This morning we had the pleasure of volunteering with the non-profit organization FOR A DAY FOUNDATION's LA Chapter by visiting CHOC hospital. We were able to play make believe and dress up with pediatric cancer patients at CHOC, giving them a pick-me-up during their treatments. We met a couple children and our favorite moments? The large smile that Brian (aka SUPER BRIAN) gave us when we put on his mask and the time we spent with Ariana who sat patiently as we painted her nails making her a hero/queen for the day.





 It is in these moments that truly reminded Jamie and I of how blessed we were to meet these wonderful kids. We hope we made a difference in their day as they did in ours and we can't wait to get more involved with this organization.
