Per Stampin’ Up! (Friday, Sept. 8th)……
Along with many of you, we are watching with concern as stories unfold about the devastation left behind in Texas and Louisiana by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey. Though no one knows how many lives have been affected, Harvey is said to be one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, and the damage caused by massive flooding will be felt for years to come.
With you, we’re also trying to stay informed on the progress of Hurricane Irma; as we write this, Irma has not yet made landfall but is currently classified as a catastrophic Category 5 storm. It will almost certainly leave as much destruction in its wake as Hurricane Harvey and will affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.
As a Stampin’ Up! family, we invite you to help us give to those who are now (or will soon be) trying to rebuild their lives. From now until the end of October, Stampin’ Up! will match donations made to the American Red Cross, dollar-for-dollar, for up to $50,000. Please click here to donate.
Together, we can do incredible things! We hope you’ll join us . . . because we truly can make a difference.
On a personal note, my daughter attends college in Atlanta, Georgia. Classes were cancelled for today and tomorrow and at this point her dorm (and surrounding area) has no electricity. I hope and pray everyone stays safe.
The Stampin’ Up! community is already making a difference through ongoing hurricane relief efforts.
If you would like to help, please click here to donate to the American Red Cross.
Together we can make a difference!
