Well here we go!!! Several weeks ago I came up with an idea to get donations to help people...okay so your saying that's not a new idea! I know I know.... I thought why not make all the donations PINK..... the item would go to somebody in need and bring awareness to Breast Cancer...So I started with my facebook page using my status to let people know. I ended up starting 3 different pages before I finally got the one I wanted. I sent out message after message to people. I think I may have overloaded their inbox..but its for a good cause right??? I talked with a good friend of mine Amy and she came up with the logo! The name P.I.N.K providing pink items for needy kids morphed into not only needy kids but needy people. Amy had a wonderful idea to help the people who do not fit into the obvious need category. I thought this was a great idea as so many people have lost jobs. The more we talked the more ideas we came up with.. Senior citizens their need isn't always about money, their need might be companionship. I met a woman on eightwest grand rapids, Mi talk shows face book page who makes beautiful tutus for little girls! She offered to donate two pink tutus, hair bows and other items!! Wow! Her business is called Claires Bowtique. (notice the bow!) I have been going back and forth with the name P.I.N.K... I came up with the blog name 4 love of pink and I think I like that one!! We have two business's that offered to be a drop off location. Florentines in Kentwood, Mi and Arenas pizza in Rockford, Mi. Another friend of mine Jenn offered to paint pink pictures to donate! I found breast cancer bandanna and we lined baskets with them and filled them with pink things. Its been a great feeling helping others and not thinking of me all the time. If you know of anybody in need let us know.
