Sponsor Giveaways: SewCute Shop

I work as a Pediatric Social Worker with children with type 1 diabetes. I live in Canada, where families have universal health care and access to government program that can help cover the cost of supplies including but not limited to: insulin, test strips, and syringes. Unfortunately for a child in a developing country they may be able to afford these costly supplies. Sometimes families are forces to make the difficult decision whether to put food on the table or pay for medications. As a result some children died when there is treatment available.
Last year my collegues and I decided that instead of Christmas gifts, we would use that money to donate to the charity: Life for a Child:
www.lifeforachild.idf.org
This program is run by the International Diabetes Federation and helps over 1200 children and families from 19 countries recieve life sustaining therapy. Although, diabetes is a chronic disease, which at times can be difficult to manage, children can grow up to live healthy productive lives. Life for a Child helps kids do that and that is why it is my favourite charity.

Such cute stuff! I can't wait to order something :)
Prior to moving a few years ago, I volunteered every year for http://www.christmasinoctober.org/ with my dad. It is one of my favorite volunteer activities to participate in and an incredible cause to support.

there are so many wonderful charities out there, thanks for this giveaway and insight into what is out there!

My Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in April, so I would say the Susan G. Komen Foundation is currently at the top of the list. Great giveaway - I LOVE the name and those tops were so cute too.

My favorite charity is Feed My Starving Children. We don't have much extra income but it is amazing how much little we can donate and how far it goes to to feed one child one meal - 17cents!

my favourite charity is a home for pregnant teens here in New Zealand.. they invite them into a home with a family and all the girls learn parenting/baby care till the bubba is born.. then they are encouraged to set up their home and they are supported in this..... such a lovely house and very kind and generous people who run it...
here is their link.... http://www.thehouseofgrace.org.nz/

My favorite charity is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation... http://www.cff.org/ ...I have a young cousin who is fighting this disease and the CFF has helped in amazing ways. Sometimes a large part of an organization's money goes to salaries and to expenses that don't get directly to the people who really need them, but I know first hand that CFF's money goes to help families fighting this ugly disease.

my favorite local charity is a shelter for women and children.

The charity that means most to me is the American Diabetes Association. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes since May 2007 and it has been such a rollercoaster for me. I appreciate all the work they do to help all people affected with this disease.

I checked out the SewCuteShop, and love all of the cute outfits! I admire what she is doing for her friend's cause.
I am passionate about any organization that helps families get Christmas presents for their children. I feel that I was so fortunate as a kid, always getting exactly what I wanted for Christmas. Think of some children not getting anything for Christmas moves me to find an organization each year to purchase presents for a few families.

God bless you Brandy!

beautiful things and what a noble thing she is doing for her friend... my favorite charity is Big Brothers/Big Sisters which I have been blessed to be a part of (as a big sister to an INCREDIBLE girl) for more than 7 years. She has changed my life more than I ever could have imagined. www.bbbs.org

Too stinkin' cute! The charities I contribute most to are our church's humanitarian fund and whatever my children's school fundraisers are at that time.

My heart goes out to this family! What a great way to raise money to help out the cause.
My favorite charity is Susan G. Komen. I am currently training for the Breast Cancer 3 Day in Philly in October! I am very much looking forward to it and am doing similar things (selling notecards with photographs I take) to raise money!
Here's a link:

Super Cute clothes
one of my fave charities: Susan G Komen
http://ww5.komen.org/
I'm even training to run (not walk) the 5K this year

I'd have to say the American Cancer Society, so many lives touched by cancer...

Very cute pieces! My favorite charity is the American Heart Association. http://www.americanheart.org
I will support it even more so now that my Dad is recovering for a cardiac arrest and 6 - bypass.

My daughter has stiff joints/weak muscles- a condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita.
So, my favorite charity is a wonderful organization who sponsors a convention (free to AMC'ers and their families) each year.

My favorite charity is Families for Hope. It is for families affected by their child(ren) who are born with holoprosencephaly. Our first daughter was born with this and lived to be 37 months before she passed away.
http://familiesforhope.org/
Although we miss her dearly, I know that what she taught us and taught her doctors have helped other families facing similar situations.
I love the top, it is something my daughter would have loved! Especially in the fabric that you had made for Anna.
