Community - Wednesday Wishlist


 For Julie Ann- Paper Jewelry Papier Mache and Resin Heart Brooch by KiahDesign

I am so incredibly proud to belong to the DUST team. In the face of a terrible tragedy that has touched one of our own, this wonderful community has bonded together to help a DUSTer and her family in need. The amazing Julie-Ann, ETSY team leader of DUST (Etsy Down Under Street Team and her 15 year old daughter Jacinda were involved in a horrific Angel Flight plane crash... Julie-Ann was seriously injured and sadly her daughter Jacinda and the pilot did not survive. Dusters across Australia are devastated by this awful news, and are actively donating and raising funds for Julie-Ann and her family.

There are several ways you can help if you are able ..............

you can purchase one of the gorgeous donated items ( of which I will feature a selection below ) from these two ETSY treasury links :

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTAzMjAyNXw1OTY5ODg1ODk/for-julie-ann-2

or you can search for items on ETSY with For Julie-Ann in the title.

Donations are also being accepted on behalf of Julie-Ann and her family through the Hindmarsh Shire Council - details can be found at this link :  http://www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au/

Put yourself in the shoes of Julie-Ann and her family, for just a moment, and think of what they must be going through at this time. Every donation or purchase will help, no matter how big or small.
