Share The Comfort

Hanes® launches comfort-sharing Facebook App for Breast Cancer Awareness

Hanes new Virtual Comfort application allows users to share comfort with those who need it most. Fans of Hanes on Facebook can personalize and send free virtual Comfort Packages to friends and family via a digital tool on the Hanes Facebook page. For each package sent, Hanes will donate $1 (up to $25,000) to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. to promote early cancer detection and provide mammograms for those in need!

Hanes created the Comfort Packages to bring a smile and help spread comfort to fans’ social networks in a small, but impactful, way. The free virtual Comfort Package can be sent from the Pink tab on the Hanes page. The Comfort Package is fully customizable with photos, videos, recipes, T-shirt designs, music and messages. Sending a Comfort Package is one of many gestures that can brighten someone’s day and help provide support and comfort to a loved one.

Along with the Comfort Package, the Pink tab on the Hanes Facebook page includes a video of interviews featuring Hanes employees who have been affected by breast cancer and the Words of Comfort Wall where fans can leave thoughts of hope and encouragement to those touched by this terrible disease.

The Comfort Package is an extension of the many ways Hanes contributes to breast cancer awareness. As a longtime supporter of breast cancer awareness, Hanes has made cash and in-kind donations totaling $1 million since 2009 and is donating up to $125,000 to NBCF this year.

Costume Discounters

Costume Discounters is a great place to shop for halloween costumes, Christmas Costumes or for costumes for any occasion. I was particularly taken with the pet costumes, and couldn't pass up an opportunity to dress our pooch up like Santa's little helper. Afterall we already have a santa costume for our cat, so why can't our dog be his helper?

The Christmas elf  dog costume is from Costume Discounters, while the cat costume (actually a dog costume) is from Walmart. I think it's fun to let your pets in on the festivities. If it were up to me I'd have a pet costume for every holiday. :)

I also loved their selection of baby costumes, while it was a small selection than the pet selection, it was still adorable, especially the one below:

We're ADOPTING!!!

My husband and I are adopting a baby (or twins) from the U.S. and it's a very costly process. We feel called by God to adopt instead of having biological children at this time because there are so many children who already need homes. The total cost can be anywhere from $25,000-$70,000 depending on the situation. We've been saving for a long time, but are not 100% funded yet. We are asking that if you or anyone you know is willing to help, we would greatly appreciate it!

Any amount helps.

Thank you!
