Celebrating Two Years Sober: A Special Donation to SAFE

I am thrilled to share some exciting news and heartfelt gratitude with all of you. Thanks to your incredible support of Gildry.com, I was able to donate $100 of my earnings to two wonderful causes this week. This milestone donation feels particularly meaningful, as it was made in honor of my "Soberthday" – a celebration of my two years of sobriety from alcohol.

In celebration of my second Soberthday, $50 was donated to SAFE (Stop Addiction Fatality Epidemic). This donation is especially significant to me, as SAFEproject.us is dedicated to combating the addiction crisis and supporting those affected by it. Their mission resonates deeply with my personal journey and the challenges I've faced along the way. Your purchases during this special week allowed me to give back to an organization that is close to my heart, making my sobriety celebration even more impactful.

Embracing the No-Shame Movement

This donation is also part of my commitment to the no-shame movement, which aims to remove the stigma surrounding addiction and recovery. By openly sharing my story and supporting organizations like SAFE, I hope to encourage others to seek help and celebrate their own journeys of recovery. Your support of Gildry.com has made this possible, and together, we can contribute to a culture of understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

Supporting Green Chimneys

The remaining $50 of the donation went to Green Chimneys, a local animal sanctuary with innovative programming that supports the development of neurodivergent children. Green Chimneys holds a special place in my heart, as it's where a duck I rescued from a storm drain was rehabilitated and released back into the wild. Their work, detailed at greenchimneys.org, combines wildlife rescue with therapeutic education, making a profound impact on both animals and children.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Every purchase you make from Gildry.com not only supports my passion for creating beautiful, handmade pieces but also allows us to give back to the community in meaningful ways. Your support during my Soberthday week has made a tangible difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction and in the well-being of rescued animals and neurodivergent children.

Stay tuned for more updates, new creations, and opportunities to give back. Your support means the world to me.
