Shop for a Cause | Meet the Shops | Beverly Gurganus Fine Art

We have been busy putting together this “Shop for a Cause” event to help raise monies to fight this horrific crime against children, men, and women, and we are so excited for its launch.  Whether you are looking for a gift for a friend or a special treat for yourself, we have something for everyone.

As promised, I am following up my previous post to introduce the participating small shops along with some of the available items you can expect to see.

But before I start the introductions, let me summarize the previous post just in case you missed it.

Shop for a Cause | Child Trafficking | Beverly Gurganus Fine Art

 I have talked about my burden for children, and more specifically those who are victims of trafficking in past blog posts, but I’m ashamed to say that my voice has been quiet lately.  Life has a way of sneaking up on us and distracting us from some really important issues (not that all distractions aren’t equally important, but they can demand more of our attention than we need to give).

So, imagine the convicting blow to my heart when I opened social media on a recent Monday morning just to see an article that broke me.  Even if the accusations in the article are not true (and I pray they aren’t), it was non the less a wake up call equivalent to being woken abruptly from a deep sleep.  I have failed these children, and the thought of them in a dark room praying for someone to come and free them is unbearable.  I was reminded how urgent this issue is and how I CAN NOT stay silent…I need to do better.

Last month I was invited to attend A New Beginning Eco Fashion Presentation and Benefit Gala and bring along some of my Children of the King paintings.

It seems like January was a long time ago, but I keep reminding myself that it was just last month.  Isn't it crazy how time works?  My granddaughter's birth seems like it was just a few days ago, and not 5 months ago.  On the contrary, it has felt like much time has past since Christmas. Anywho, I promised to share more about January's event A New Beginning.

The Butterfly house touches a soft spot in my heart as they aim to help rescue and heal children from modern slavery (trafficking) right here in my own backyard by providing them with a long term safe home.  And through my Children of the King: Twirly Dresses collection you can help make a difference in a child's life by contributing to the building of the safe home.
