CHARITIES + DONATIONS
Wot’s all this, then?
It’s a little independent shop carrying silly items (illustrated and designed by me) featuring some of my favourite people, with a big portion of sales going to relevant causes I care about.
Things are a little upside-down (and scary) in the world right now, and I wanted to contribute something positive, in addition to supporting my own mental health.
Items are listed at a minimum suggested price; buyers are welcome to contribute more if they want! (And may receive a few extra goodies in their order, as a thank you <3)
I also plan to offer free digital downloads as an additional thank you to supporters!
Unless otherwise specified, 50%-100% of sales (after processing fees) will be donated at the end of the year.
If (for whatever personal reason) you do not wish to contribute to the organizations I’ve chosen, kindly refrain from purchasing from the store.
Which charities will donations be going to?
List of charities may change/rotate in the future:
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières: an international emergency medical humanitarian organization founded by doctors and journalists. Teams provide neutral, impartial and independent emergency healthcare to people affected by disaster, disease, conflict and exclusion.
YouthLine.ca: provides affirming, anonymous peer support and resources for 2SLGBTQ+ youth.
Progress Place: goal is to improve the lives of people with mental illness, offering programs and services that provide opportunities for recovery though employment, education, housing, and recreation.
Daily Bread Food Bank: works alongside smaller food banks, schools, and other organizations to deliver food to those in need; DBFB also publishes research on food insecurity and pushes for policy changes to fight poverty.
Thank you for your support! xo
