how we give back

        
For the month of May we chose to once again donate to a very special organization. Formerly Together We Rise, Foster Love provides some amazing resources for kiddos and teens in the foster care system. 

 We donated towards the Sweet Case Duffle Program, which gives kiddos something to carry their belongings. Thank you for partnering with us in helping to donate a portion to this amazing cause!

Yaaka Africa

This is a very special organization that we have learned about through our local home church. We have watched the partnership and the generosity of many allow for the building of a safe schools. Currently, Yaaka has four campuses and over 1700 students enrolled. 

One of the recent calls of action was to help in the purchasing of mosquito nets for the kiddos. This tugged so deeply on our hearts, as this is not something many of us have to worry about when we lay our kiddos in their bed to sleep.

We were able to make a contribution to the purchasing of mosquito nets thanks to your support and purchase of our bows.

All About Hope

We absolutely LOVE this local organization. All About Hope gives hospitalized children and their families the tools they need to dream beyond the confines of their hospital room. The Hope Boxes include art supplies and projects that give children a much-needed distraction during their stay. It is an amazing organization that was created out of a mama's own experience. 

A portion of our total sales for May + June was donated towards the Hope Boxes.

 The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund

April 24th-30th is National Infertility Awareness Week. 1 in 8 couples are given an infertility diagnosis. Our co-owner Ashlee and her husband were one of these couples.

We are always looking to support organizations who are doing good in our world and for causes that tap on our hearts. The Bundle of Joy Fund was started by Samantha and Kyle Busch who have their own journey with infertility. As many may know the costs associated with infertility treatment are high and rarely covered by insurance. 

You will often see Samantha sharing about her involvement in Washington D.C. to help create awareness and advocate for those who struggle with infertility. More advocacy is always needed and finding ways for more insurance carriers to cover infertility treatments is one of the areas that need. In the meantime, Bundle of Joy Fund raises money for IVF grants that are given to couples with financial barriers and wish for a family of their own.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is likely that someone you know has been diagnosed or treated for Breast Cancer. There are so many components to this diagnosis that makes it very difficult. It is life changing. 
This month, we are dedicating our Breast Cancer Daisy & Ribbon bow to the cause. The proceeds from this sale of this bow will be matched and donated to the Young Survival Coalition. This organization is focused on helping young people who are diagnosed with breast cancer and it all started when four women were diagnosed before the age of 40.

These late Summer months bring fun, sunshine & joy but here in California, the threat of wildfires is a constant worry for people who live here. Each year, thousands of acres are destroyed which also includes home & businesses. This year, rae rae +co chose to donate a portion of sales (match it) to The Placer County Food Bank. 
The Placer County Food Bank has been providing the community with nourishment since 1970. During this Wildfire Season, The Placer County Food Bank has been on the front lines providing food to those impacted by the River and Caldor Fires. 
Thank you for joining us in supporting this extremely important cause and loving on those who have experienced the devastation to the place they call HOME during this wildfire season. 
 

100% of the profits made on our Yellow Floral Chunky Bow, will once again be matched and donated. We will be specifically donating towards the Sweet Case Duffle Program.
