Calendula Sun

If you have extra please consider making a donation to support the cancer medications for a dear friend of mine from El Salvador so that they can begin much needed treatment for their cancer. During the holidays I was also fundraising for him, and all of your purchases went towards his medical health needs. Even small donations go a long way.

Happy New Years to all! Just wanted to share my deepest thanks and appreciation for those who supported me over the holidays. Whether you were aware or not, bu...t all of the proceeds from my sales went towards the cancer treatment of a friend of mine in El Salvador. You have helped ease the suffering of a human being who has suffered greatly as a refugee in Mexico, persecution for being gay among many more things. With these sales and individual donations we were able to raise upwards of $3000 USD. That is truly amazing. You paid for expensive medications that alleviated intense pains. And much more. My friend may not live much longer but he has felt the support and solidarity of many and that has been healing. Thank you lovely brave courageous hearts See more

Happy New Year to all! Just wanted to send an immense thank you to all of you that supported me over the holidays, either through direct orders, or while I was visiting you, or through the 3 farmers markets I participated in at the Orillia Downtown Farmers Market. I hope you are loving your local organic fair trade soaps and things. I feel like I am getting better at this craft. Whether you were aware or not, your support allowed me to send over $600 towards the cancer tr...eatment for a friend of mine in El Salvador. So if you just loved the soaps that's great but there was also an important social impact not just from buying local, but supporting those who lack adequate health care because of where they were born and in what particular part of our capitalistic world they land. So thank you so very much and keep supporting your local markets and being active in creating a better world. See more
