Her heart is also burdened by human trafficking and she is hoping to use her talents to raise money and awareness. Each hat is $20 (plus shipping) and all profits from current sales will be going to the Not For Sale Campaign. Please email me if you would like to purchase a hat for fall time. Make sure to specify style (ribbon or plain) and color. Ashley can also do special orders if you have a specific color in mind.<br />

All scarves are $20 and all profit goes to the NOT FOR SALE Campaign (Check out the links in my previous post for more info). Now let's raise $300! Ready, set GO!<br />

My new goal is to raise $300 for an organization called NOT FOR SALE. I first heard about this Not For Sale campaign when I read David Batstone's book <i>Not For Sale</i> (AMAZING book). I am including their website and a youtube video displaying some of their work.<br />

I will be posting pictures of fabric soon....<br />

I try to buy discounted fabric so that the maximum amount of money can be donated. This also means that sometimes I am unable to find the same exact prints due to it being a clearance fabric. So be quick, or I might run out! :)<br />
<br />
All infinity scarves are $15 plus shipping. Thank you all for your support in fundraising for International Justice Mission. God bless!<br />

I am excited to announce my new goal of raising $300 for International Justice Mission. It is crucial that laws are being enforced worldwide to stop human trafficking. "International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials to ensure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to promote functioning public justice systems" (IJM.org). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"There are more than <b><u><i>30 million</i></u></b> slaves in the world today, more than in any point in human history" (notforsalecampaign.org). That is a crazy number that is hard to comprehend, but it is a number that we need to do something about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you order a Wrapped In Peace scarf you are helping take a stand against that number. All profits from my sales go to charities that are working towards ending modern day slavery. My current goal is to raise $350 for World Vision's Trauma Recovery Center for sexually exploited women and children. Please view the video on the following link to learn more about the work World Vision is doing to help this cause: <a href="http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10370&item=1445844">http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10370&item=1445844</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Housing, counseling, education and vocational training are extremely important in the recovery process for girls who have been freed from human trafficking. I would be so grateful if you joined me in raising money to ensure that women around the world are receiving the care and support they need to rebuild their lives. </div>
