Ronald McDonald House: Upper Midwest, “Sometimes when a child gets sick they have to go to a hospital far from their families. Parents want to be with their child every second during such a difficult time. That’s exactly why there is Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest. Ronald McDonald House charities have been a staple in the community for many years. Providing housing for the families of sick children who want to stay close to the hospital is an invaluable service to loved ones.

Amazing Grace the Dog, “Meet Amazing Grace, a little Black Lab who has become a remarkable symbol of abuse survival and recovery to victims worldwide with her story. She was sniffing through a trashcan when a 12 year-old boy flung a whole pot of boiling water on her to get rid of her. Instead of just scaring her off, the water scorched most of her fur and skin causing severe painful third-degree burns all over her bod. Since recovering with the help of the Sabine Human Society, Grace is training to become a service dog so she can visit burn hospitals, burn camps, and schools. Her remarkable recovery and happiness shows people that they too can live a happy and fruitful life even after suffering a severe trauma.
The Diaper Bank of Arizona, “The first of its kind in the nation, the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona was the brainchild of Hildy Gotlieb and Dimitri Petropolis, partners in a small, Tucson-based consulting firm. In 1994, the duo held the first diaper drive and five years later they had collected 300,000 diapers. The organization became a freestanding organization in 2000 and this year expects to distribute more than 700,000 diapers and incontinence products throughout Southern Arizona.”

Serengetee, “Recently, we had the chance to create some custom tattoos for our friends at Serengetee. These awesome individuals are spreading awareness to the poverty and hardships that still exist in different countries across the world. They began to create t-shirts from fabrics collected in these places and what has sprung from that is awesome and unexpected. Serengetee’s inception was inspired by the countries visited, and motivated by the opportunity to give back. These fabrics were made into pockets and put on t-shirts, allowing our customers to ‘Wear the World’, with a portion of all sales going back to a charity within the region of purchase.” Read the full post about Serengetee on the Tattoo Sales blog here.
