About Shop for Change:
Our family was working with the ministry “La Alianza”
against sex trafficking in the Dominican Republic until this past June when our
lives were turned upside down with the birth of our daughter. We learned first-hand about the severe issues
regarding maternal health care in developing countries. After an extremely traumatic birth experience
which was mishandled by the doctors there, I was left with severe
internal damage and our daughter Kenya was having seizures. We left on medical emergency to the United
States and are not able to go back at this time to continue our dream of
starting a home for survivors of sex trafficking. Kenya is thankfully doing better by a miracle
of God, but I've spent several months on bedrest and so began the
baby headband making craze. We wanted to
use the money we raised to continue supporting our mission in the DR and also
to focus on our new mission of helping other women who suffer with severe birth
injuries (as well as aid in the prevention of infant and maternal mortality in
developing countries). And so, “Shop
for Change” was born. With each purchase
you make, we are able to give a cut of the money to help our mission that we
had to leave behind in the DR, while also preventing future birth trauma and
injuries like we’ve experienced from happening to other women and babies in
developing countries.
