A new year, a new idea.
Lately I’ve been noticing things; how happy my life is, how full it is. I know the rest of the world isn’t so lucky. It’s easy for me to sit in my comfortable home with my healthy, loving husband and ignore the rest of the world. A world that needs help. But I’m tired of turning off the news because it scares me, and I’m tired of feeling like I should be doing something to help, but doing nothing about it.
It feels like it’s time to start giving back, after all, I have enough. More than enough. So I came up with an idea, something simple. I’m offering a different print each month at a discounted price. ALL of the profits from the print sales will go to a select charity at the end of each month.
Easy. Buy some art for your home, give back to a world that needs help. Here are the details of the first art of the month:
THE PRINT
Lime Kiln Lighthouse, San Juan Island, WA.
Printed on heavy canvas, with wrapped edges. Ready to hang. Measures 35″L X 21″H X 1.5″W
$250
To purchase go here: Kim Hayes Photography Store
THE CHARITY
Casa de Milagros (Home of the Miracles)
Casa de Milagros is a home for orphaned children in Peru. It’s a very loving, holistic community that heals and educates beautiful, abandoned Peruvian children. I was lucky enough to visit last time I was there. I was horribly sick, so I didn’t take any photos. (I’m still kicking myself for that one) I’m not a fan of long blog posts, so you can read all about it by going here: CASA DE MILAGROS
You can also watch a video that my beautiful mother sent me by going [ HERE ] Please watch it, it’s 8 minutes long, but really inspiring.
If this print doesn’t speak to you, I will offer a different photograph (either on canvas or print) and a different charity to donate to each month. So check back often.
Happy New Year everyone!!
