Artists of all types have been coming together to help a jewelry artist from Etsy. Her shop name there is Designed by Lucinda (it's closed now). She and her family recently suffered a tragic loss when their home caught fire. They lost everything, but the worst part of all is that they also lost their son.
Artists have grouped together and opened a shop at Big Cartel where artists of all types can donate their items to sell. The name of the shop is "Helping Hearts". The proceeds of all sales go to a fund to be given to Lucinda and her family. The sellers also absorb the shipping costs.
Since it's not a sanctioned charity, a shop couldn't be created for this at Etsy. I have donated a couple of necklaces to sell there myself. In fact, one sold this morning. Please take a look and see if there's anything their that you would like to purchase, or donate.
Have a great day!

You're welcome Sarah. I agree. Thanks for stopping by.
What a tragic loss for Lucinda and her family. My heart goes out to them. Helping Hearts, such a great name for this wonderful charity.

Thanks for stopping by Sandy. I don't think there can be anything worse than losing a son, especially at that young age. It is good though to see so many people pulling together to try and help in some way.
